anyone ever found a female side of the plug? i would like to make a no splice t harness.

if one were to buy the Universal Ball Joint Mount Automotive System is the main difference with the revision the lens size and mounting plate covering the Toyota pattern ceiling hole?

I agree that if you want to do real custom work you could achieve that. I am not sure why they recommend a minimum depth on the hitch tongue going into the hitch receiver. is it because that wedge needs to be protruding out the back of the recover in order to truly lock up? doesn't seem like...

for the Kuat Pivot, the tongue is pretty short already, shorter than the rambleswing. sorry for the confusion, but I went back and edited some of my comments to separate what I was saying about the Kuat Pivot from what was being said about the rambleswing.

yeah I edited my post, I was speaking on the Kuat Pivot 2.0 I looked into the rambleswing and didn't want to mess around with chopping a new angle. I think the conclusion I came to from looking at pictures of the other Rig'd products was that you couldn't really shorten it enough for my...

for the Kuat Pivot 2.0 there's a bolt that goes through the front side of the tongue and it draws this diagonal wedge backwards as the bolt is tightened and that pushes a foot out that braces the inside of the hitch receiver. so what this means is the bolt is mounted to a blind tongue. that...

oh you need 2" off? there's not enough for that there's maybe an easy half inch on the Kuat Pivot 2.0 pictures below. EDIT: the Rig'd anti rattle is a different mechanism than what's pictured

why not chop the tongue? the mechanism that removes rattle doesn't extend to the end of the tongue. the Rig'd tongues tend to be long, I appreciate that the Kuat Pivot 2.0 tongue is less so.

yes, I wanted to make the basket sit closer and higher. the clearance isn't that great as the hitch extender I used is pretty long. but it's better than a basket that just stick straight out from a hitch. that's why the Kuat Pivot 2.0 was necessary for this project. I can't open the barn door...

anyone know if these are the same for the 3rd gen 4runner?

this thread helped me so I am just adding another option https://www.rigdsupply.com/products/rambleswing-bike-rack-swing-out I ended up going with a Kuat Pivot 2.0 on my GX470. thanks for the rec guys.

it's good, the hitch has held multiple hitch carrier loads of firewood. the bumper is still fine. hitch is rusty because I live near the ocean.

oh, I thought the line of reasoning was explaining why the "issue" exists.

what happens when you don't start out slow or if you hit the button while in some sort of motion or load?

so my question for information sake is what about the mechanics if having one leg up in the air, causes the delay in engagement? it seems to be a very particular conference of circumstances.
