In the final installment of Overland Expo West 2022 videos, we take a look at the company that displayed my vehicle ‪@DirtComplex‬ ! They made the extremely successful "Trail Swing" rear hitch tire carrier. This tire carrier is made of chromoly tubing, which is the same stuff that top tier NHRA drag racing cars are made out of.
This isn't the first time that I featured this tire carrier on my channel, but this is the first time you will see the other owner of Dirtcom, MEET HARRISON! I'm not sure why he doesn't get in front of the camera more often, he's a natural! Find out more about this awesome tire carrier in this video!
Please note that these series of videos are not my typical type. I just want to bring this Expo to the people that weren’t fortunate to attend.

These seem expensive until you realize "DESIGNED, MANUFACTURED, & TESTED IN THE USA". Supporting your local American companies always justifies the cost and they seem very well made.

Absolutely @FatalAnimal! We had a friend that bought an Amazon tire carrier and it fell apart after a 130 mile overlanding trip on the Mojave road. He replaced it with the Dirtcom “trail swing”. Also, I think one of the biggest things to consider is convenience. I can buy groceries, open the tire and rear hatch with one hand. That’s a big deal too!

My trailswing should be here tomorrow! AJ hooked me up and got it to me a little early after I got invited to a local MtnRoo ride this weekend! Planning on getting the rotopax mount and the fold out table at some point down the line. Preferably before the July trip haha. Also, congrats to AJ on the half mil miles! Those 4runners are indestructible!

Sounds like a solid setup. So many Subarus are running this tire carrier. It’s the only one I recommend for crossovers because of the best in class departure angle.

Love my trail swing. After my latest cross-country trip I ordered the folding table so I can put my grill on it. I’ve also ordered a propane tank mount (from PowerTanks) for where the rotopax would mount on the side accessory mount.

At first I made my table, but since I was displaying my Honda at Overland Expo West 2021, I thought it would be a good idea to upgrade. There’s alot of good options for a table. I’ve seen a guy use a $150 smittybilt table and mount it upside down. He added a DIY steel plate drop down which makes it a double shelf table. Pretty genius!

Ordered 1/24/2024. 8 week production schedule on website. Still waiting on a ship date. Customer service response are few and far between. This outfit looks to be struggling with delivering. Based on comments around the web, 8 weeks production is a pipe dream.

Looks strong and well made. Question, can you still tow a small trailer with this installed? If the swing has a spare mounted on it what reduction in towing capacity is to be expected? Thankyou
@JonDZ_Adventuring
@JonDZ_Adventuring Жыл бұрын
So, you can pull a trailer, but the tow capacity gets halved. So for example, my Honda Passport is rated to tow 5000 lbs. and have a tongue eating of 350 lbs., that get’s reduced down to 2500 lbs. and a tongue eating of 175 lbs. because the hitch is extended.

Hey, if you ever decide to get wild and run 35” tires, it’ll come in handy. The trail swing is a great place to put some mountain bikes, everything else, your truck covers utility wise.

It might be hard to see, but at 5:32 I had the original prototype trailswing. The stainless steel piece by the bolt wasn’t replaceable and I don’t think there were zerk fittings. The revised version has the American flag laser etched by the handle. Cool to see a company make those improvements with longevity in mind.

@@bajasoobnut oh, the auto stop use to be set at 90 degrees, but they found that it would be more convenient for people to have it stop at 120 or so, that way they can open their hatch to conveniently place something in the cargo area and not have to deal with unlocking the auto stopper.

The 4th Gen engine is the same as the million mile Tundras that are out there on KZbin. Very similar to the 100 series engine, but those Land Cruiser engines are built to an even higher spec. Over engineered.

The Trail swing truck changed its departure angle by turning to the left while the competitions was straight. Of course it will scrape. I like the trail swing but don’t skew the test.
