RIGd (pronounced "rigged") is the maker of the UltraSwing™, the only hitch-mounted tire carrier designed to swing out a spare tire and bikes. The UltraSwing also packs in accessory mounting options like a camp table, Rotopax, MAXTRAX, H-Lift Jacks, and much more. RIGd is dedicated to equipping people with the knowledge and gear they need for vehicle-based adventures, having the freedom to roam without restriction from the grid. Our mission is to have a positive impact on the people and places we encounter along the way. Ramble with us.
The Multi-Fit will work well on a Renegade. It's been done, just not sure we have any images to shoot over. Let us know if you have any other questions. www.rigdsupply.com/products/rigd-ultraswing-multi-fit-spare-tire-hitch-carrier
Can you still attach a small uhaul trailer with the rig'd ultra swing. Reason I ask is I go out to the desert to ride a few times a year carrying 3 motorcycles.
Excellent video. Thank you. I need more positive latch engagement . Mine is loose and I don’t know where that washer is. Got some dimensions so I don’t make 19 trips to Home Depot🤣
3:34 shows the zip tie mounts being installed in the exact same place the weather seal contacts. It's incredible that this offical install video doesn't just miss things, but objectively gets things WRONG. And as far as I can tell, there is no way to route the electrical conduit so that it's not just going over the weather seal about 3/4 of the way up the rear hatch. Because as shown at 4:36, the conduit will have to pass over the same place as the weather strip once the lift gate is closed. Having water in my vehicle is not worth relocating the camera. Am I missing something, or was buying this kit a big waste of money? How can the conduit pass from the lift gate to the vehicle body without compromising the weather seal? edit - Instead of putting the electrical conduit directly across the weather seal, as this video shows, I removed a few inches of the conduit and taped the 4 wires flat in the area they cross the weather seal. I also angled the wires so that any water that hits them would flow out of the vehicle, not into it. The routing of the conduit at 3:34 is still horrible advice and should not be copied.
They got discontinued. I recently reached out and they won’t be bringing them back. LoLo Camp online says they have them in stock but really don’t. They canceled my order after I purchased. I was lucky enough to find someone on OfferUp that shipped his used set to me
The RambleSwing has a 300 lb load capacity. However, as you extend the load farther away this should be reduced, especially in certain off-road environments. If you have a specific application you'd like to confirm you're good to carry, please email us at support@rigdsupply.com
You can tow. The UltraSwing is tow rated to 10,000 lbs. You can also use a hitch basket. However, in most cases there wouldn't be clearance to do both of those things at the same time. You can learn more about towing safety here: www.rigdsupply.com/pages/how-much-should-i-tow-with-an-ultraswing This is the hitch basket we like best: www.rigdsupply.com/products/pakmule-scout Let us know if you have any other questions
Shoot us a photo to support@rigdsupply.com but the Short-Fit has been working pretty well on a lot of the 3rd gen hitches. The Multi-Fit would also work.
I bought one 4 years ago. The pin Is stuck and can't open it now. I'm going to have to take it off and put it to the side. I wish I bought this version :(
Once that pin gets un-stuck, we do sell all the components that might differ from your unit and most everything is backwards compatible. email support@rigdsupply.com for help with that pin
Typically the connectors used on Tundra are not the same as what they use. Since there isn't a plug-n-play option for Sequoia, the best option is typically to extent the factory harness.
This takes an about 3-4 hours to install. I just helped a friend install and here were some key things they left out like all the comments state. I felt the need to tell my story for the RU-vids. Let’s start out with the plastic cover. Peal back at least 50% back or more. You’ll need the room. Also when you remove the remove the speaker remove the speaker bracket too. It’s 5 screws/bolts. Once again you’ll need the room. Lastly remove the cap located on the very bottom /underside /of the door when it’s open. You’ll know it when you see it. It just pops out when you pull it. You’ll need all this space to run and see and zip tie the wire. Make sure you have extra zip ties and not the little ones they give you in the kit. So let’s get to the meat of this pia job. One way to run the wire and avoid the window is to run it parallel with another existing wire that runs to the right against the frame. Then zip tie it tightly to that wire. This wire runs all the way to the right and never touches the window. Once you get to the right elbow, followed the frame down to the right and zip tie to the wire or this white stationary bracket parallel to the inside of frame and stay on the outer edge. Once you get to the end of the white bracket loop back up under a set of wires and through the grommet hole/remove grommet. Once you are through the grommet hole you’re good. They could have shown you in the video which makes no sense why they didn’t…. The rest is straight forward. Maybe next time I’ll just do one of these videos…
There's 2 holes of adjustment on both ends so 4 total holes of variation between 9" of extension and 12" of extension from center of the vehicle's hitch pin to center of the RambleSwing's receiving end.
I have a 2023 promaster that I recently converted to an RV. I installed an aftermarket trailer hitch and planning to install your product to mount a spare tire, and to hook my 5x12 all aluminum enclosed trailer as well. So for my applications, it’ll be the megafit right? Does it comes with spare tire adaptor too?
@@rigdsupply6945 it’ll definitely be on my van for sure. Just need to prioritize things I need to complete the project. Need some door screens then going for the megafit ultraswing
I secured my bag exactly as detailed in this video. Unfortunately, the straps did not remain tight. After one day of mild trail travel, the bag was loose almost to the point of falling off. I solved the problem by sewing the metal buckle to each of two ratchet straps and routing each ratchet strap around the tire. I ran a piece of paracord through the webbing loops at the bottom and tied that to the bottom of the wheel. With this setup, the straps remain tight, the straps and bag do not move while going down the trail, and is still easy to remove.

Thanks for the feedback. We've also been able to keep the bag tighter by having the buckles be on top of the tire rather than on the front of the tire. Glad you found something that works for you.
Hey there, that scenario is right on the limit or over the weight rating (250 lbs total) on the swing arm. We can accommodate the two e-bikes comfortably with our RambleSwing, but that does not carry a spare tire. www.rigdsupply.com/products/rambleswing-bike-rack-swing-out If you need the spare tire mount also, consider removing the batteries and we might be able to make it work with the UltraSwing.
