If you've upgraded to bigger tires and can't find a place to put your full size spare, then your search ends here! This is a great alternative to a heavy and expensive full metal rear bumper replacement. At under 70 lbs. this high clearance tire carrier was designed to offer you the best in functionality without compromising aesthetics. Check out the features below!
Verified to Fit 2nd & 3rd Gen Tacoma. 4th & 5th Gen 4runner and more!
FEATURES
-Designed to mount up to a 35" tire. Height adjustable 1/4" steel tire mount.
-Auto latching hinge locator locks the arm in 3 open positions. The locator pin slides along a stainless steel plate with 3 hole positions. The locator pin can also be set to a free swing position. Keep your hands free and avoid the hassle of manually placing pins in the hinge.
-No extra brackets, mount your rotopax and license plate straight to the swing arm. Dirtcom's stainless drop down table will bolt right up too! Our Hi-Lift jack mount is on it's way.
-1,000 lb. rated latch to keep your gear secure.
-Stainless steel safety pin will keep the arm secured and rattle free even if the latch is accidentally opened.
-Anti wobble hitch mechanism keeps the tire swing from rattling in your vehicle tow hitch.
-Bottle opener is attached to the safety pin lanyard.
-Multiple mounting points. The vertical and horizontal 3/16" plates are laser cut with multiple holes to enable you to easily mount your own accessories with m14 and m12 nuts and bolts.
-Integrated License Plate Mount. Comes with an integrated license plate mount.
BUILD DETAIL
-1.5" .120 wall chromoly tubing for added strength and style. Chromoly has a higher strength to weight ratio than hot rolled and cold rolled steel tube. These parallel chromoly tubes are plated with 3/16" steel for added strength.
-2" Tow hitch receiver. Mounted up high for off road clearance using 1/4" steel.
-Dirtcom EPDM rubber pad will add extra strength and support. We located this directly under the tire to relieve stress on the hinge to withstand rough off road conditions. Strategically placed rubber stoppers are placed throughout to absorb vibration and keep your tire carrier rattle free.
-Tire mount. The tire is tilted to move the center of gravity over the hitch. Also it just looks better. The 1/4" steel used in the tire mount will ensure a strong, long lasting mount. Offered in multiple lug patterns. Contact us if you need a size that's not listed!

Rig welder here.... and that...is incredibly impressive. Very well thought out. Very well built.

[@eliovisita]

This is my fav! can’t wait to get it for my v8 4Runner 2005 😍

[@sssnipermonkey5566]

Nice! Definitely will be getting one for my 4Runner in the near future.

[@DirtComplex]

Awesome. Thanks for watching!

[@chrisb765]

Really good design!!

[@cindyelizabeth.1]

So cool!

[@RathaSochenda]

Love the spring loaded cam lock twist lock plunger pin idea. I'm a mechanical engineer so I can appreciated all the R&D that went into this. And the price point your asking for this is fair if you compare all the features this has to the competition. Looks the best IMO and is practical and functional. Keep up the great work guys!

[@DirtComplex]

Awesome thanks! Your comment is very much appreciated! Check out the final production here! We made a few improvements kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2XFY5iYed6JhNU

[@itsjoshme538]

I think this the best design amongst its competitors. 💪🏼 🏆

[@DirtComplex]

Wow thank you! We worked hard with many versions before deciding to bring this one to the market. Check out our latest video clips offroading with the Trail Swing on Instagram @dirtcomplex

I need this on my Outback!

[@raymondmichielini6021]

definitely nice

[@lamarmelvin4077]

I need this for the Jeep Liberty!!😍

[@MrMandala1111]

Nice work but I would have concerns over the load now on the hitch when towing a heavy camper trailer with the extra load and stress on the whole towbar assembly.

[@theshowtime2375]

Finally a new video woohoo! How’s the Runner doing? Is it at 500k now?

[@DirtComplex]

Miles are going up slowly but surely I'm still only at 485k

[@scottiemanners]

You should do one more hitch receiver tube welded on the swing, so you can throw a bike rack or ski rack or other stuff that can also swing out with it

[@DirtComplex]

I'll do you one better. We have a bolt on accessory hitch that will swing out bike racks. Bolts right to the Trail Swing with no modification!

[@guylongley1573]

Got one to fit a Samurai?? Nice set up.👍

[@jjoshhooperr]

can you do a 4runner update with a walk around and the current mileage?

[@LPM147]

Very cool. I'm looking for a hitch-mounted spare-tire carrier for my 2014 Xterra Pro-4X because all the spare carrier/full bumper placements out there don't seem to address what to do with the two backup sensors that are set on central portion of the stock bumper. Would this allow me to retain the location of those sensors? I would hope so

[@DJTruth_1970]

QUESTION...PROVISION FOR LICENSE TAG AND LIGHT???

[@vincentorona163]

Love this tire carrier but it doesn’t fit my SUV 😢, I don’t have access to my hitch receiver from the back to tighten the anti-wobble mechanism

[@animalior4]

What size screws did you use for the rotopax and where did you get them ? Mine came with small ones that aren't long enough .

[@jackbou3r486]

5th gen 4runners with back up camera still usable with this ? needs relocating ?

[@ec6933]

I wish I had a truck worth buying this for this is sick

[@NorthweSteelheadJunkies]

Only wish you would make one that is 1/3 of center .

[@DARisse-ji1yw]

I'd like one for a wrangler 4xe I just ordered . Can this work with the camera Jeep mounts center of the spare ??

[@georgehardesty5686]

This may be what I've been looking for. I have a 2020 Toyota Sienna awd GTRV camper conversion. I want to switch out my RFs with AT tires and get a spare.

[@DirtComplex]

It will fit the Sienna with a 2" tow hitch. Should look awesome with the GTRV conversion! Can't wait to see it!

[@johnroberthanna1623]

do you make one for a 2.5 Tundra..?

[@coltoncleveringa8004]

Would this fit on a new Ford Explorer?

[@rc07333]

Can a 5gal jerry can fit behind the tire? Thanks!

[@Cocora22]

Do you think it would fit a Ram Promaster van?

[@dongarofano7746]

[@marley265015]

Where can I purchase one of these for a 2014 Toyota forerunner? Does it only come in the center or can you get it to the right side?

[@centroamericasvr3199]

hello I have a question where I can put the license plate of my car

[@maxbarnard7165]

There’s a crack on the vertical lap weld on the hinge mount plate.

[@yangkongm]

Do you make these for tundra?

[@tireflipper8000]

Murika! I need one of these. Hitch rating is still 7500?

[@williamolliges2622]

It would be awesome to mirror this to a drivers side swing mount so it can swing opposite the new Bronco swing gate. I know the Bronco has it’s own tire mount, but it only holds a tire, when there are high lift jacks, gas cans, and other things to consider.

[@DirtComplex]

We actually are releasing a driver side swing out version! Check out the latest video to see the up close details of these production version!

[@bpoirier4]

3rd Gen 4runner?

[@slixxster5118]

I may have missed it, but is there a location where you could move your license plate and add a light to illuminate the plate at night?

[@DirtComplex]

Yes! Check out the picture on www.dirtcomusa.com

[@clydereed1890]

Where do I purchase?

[@adamwallace7520]

Looks good but for the price I will just get a full rear bumper with swing out. Looks nice though

[@barryraven4745]

Rear bumper with swing out is going to be $2200 +

[@chadwickwicky67]

Isn’t that how much this is? $2222 before add ons?

[@chrisruggieri7345]

cost the same as a whole rear off road bumper ?!?!?

[@scottfergusson8411]

License plate location????

[@jglayden]

Would you be able to mount a high lift jack under the tire? Or is there another place to mount it? Thanks

[@DirtComplex]

We're working out the best spot for the hi lift. It will fit under the tire as well but you'll have to offset it to the left to clear the latch. Vertical or angled is the other option. With all the holes in the plate someone can easily do a diy mount. We'll also offer an off the shelf bracket option.

[@RDRobinson]

Rigid is a awesome hitch but it is a lot heavier. Know several folks that have them but have to beef up the rear suspension to keep their rig level.

[@ImproV2314]

Price??

[@jc5112]

Please let me know when will you manufacture for a 2018 Chevy Colorado .. Mahalo

[@DirtComplex]

Hey they should fit the Colorado according to our measurements. We will have pics of one soon, our instagram account @dirtcomplex is usually the most up to date with pictures!

[@rottdogg8926]

@@DirtComplex great

[@bokhao8906]

Will this get in the way when I tow my boat? I have a 4th gen as well.

[@DirtComplex]

We haven't officially published tow ratings yet, however if you look at rigd (10,000 lbs) and wilco (7500 lbs), our tow hitch is reinforced even more than theirs with our extra gusset welded on. We are using .23" steel at the hitch. However, please keep in mind to never go over your vehicle's tow rating.

[@bokhao8906]

Thanks for responding, I was just concern if the bow of boat will hit the spare. Will be ordering the awesome looking tire carrier.

[@DirtComplex]

@@bokhao8906 I feel like there should be plenty of room. From the hatch to the furthest part of the tire (at the center) it is 20" and at the bottom (because of the tilt) it is closer to 25" This is with a 35x12.5x17 tire.

These are available now. V2 has lots of upgrades and updates. Email [e-mail] Thank you!

[@kevinsullivan9921]

Will it fit on an FJ Cruiser?

We never thought an FJ would need it since the spare is mounted on the hatch. I would recommend our driver side swing for an FJ.

[@ghingisoverland6932]

Will this fit a 100 series landcruiser?

You'll have to measure from the center of your tow hitch up vertically to the rear tailgate when its open. Do you happen to know the measurement there? Also, what's the total width of the tailgate?

@@DirtComplex I get it R&D is a little pricey, but for the everyday person 1200.00 for a spare tire carrier is not an easy purchase. Especially where your competitors are sometimes down around half. Just my two cents, I’m not an expert By any means and I can’t just buy what I want, I have to plan. I can just say I have other things that would get precedence over this.
