100 Series Bolt-On Tire Carrier (2 Viewers)

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I think 98-2002 will have that in the bumper where they will have to cut. Whereas 2003-2007 will need to remove the bolted in trailer hitch attachment but don't have to cut into the stock bumper. Would 03-07 owners loose the factory trailer hitch and have to add one that attaches to the frame rail?

The pattern in the rear is the same for 40 series, 80 where it was made for a pintle attachment.

Technically, the 80 series one would fit right onto the 100 and also the 40 without modification.

The width for the tailgate openings are different. So not a direct swap, will have to be a different design and the pitch to the bumper is different as well.

@TRAIL TAILOR This looks awesome...not to hijack thread...but would you consider making this for 200 series as well?

 

[Greenbean]

Would it be for either right or left side?

Or just the right side...

 

[suboptimusprime]

And 10X more stable and safe. I can even add a secondary 2" receiver for bike racks too.

Interested especially if an additional 2' receiver is available. I'd love to get the bikes up and the rack out of harms way when descending steeper stuff and I can't truly justify a full bumper for my uses.

Take advantage of the 100 series high offset wheels. I often store 1-2 qts of motor oil, brake fluid or recovery strap inside my spare wheel. Remove hole from lower area and open up the red area.

@hotdiggitydamn I believe you were thinking something along these lines?

Awesome design Jason, I think this would be a huge hit in the 100 Series and 200 Series sectors. Cost and weight savings are a big benefit with this design.

Yes, stated before, Tire orientation will be optional R or L side

Yes this would fit the bill. I don’t know how I missed this. Thanks!

Should have a good idea on price in a couple days. All the 80 pieces were sent off to the laser cutter for quotes.

Interested as well.

I think there’s a bad assumption here, that all 03-07 LC/LX use the “through bumper” hitch.

I'd agree with this. My 2003 has the mounting points for the through bumper hitch, but I still have a regular frame hitch.

It was my understanding that the "through bumper" mounting points were for a pintle hitch, not a regular receiver. As most people aren't using a pintle hitch, this shouldn't be a problem.

I use the through-the-bumper mount with a regular drop hitch.

Thanks, i see what i missed.

So 04-07 have the ability to add a pintle hitch, even though they came with factory frame hitch?

The through-bumper hitch has been there since at least '03, maybe a mid-year change? I've got one on an '03, and the Toyota part is not the pintle hitch.

03 LX OEM Hitch question

I finally own a 100. I have an 03 LX and I'm a very happy camper. Here's the question. I have an OEM hitch (i believe) integrated into the rear cross member. See pic. I would assume that the tow limits for this would be greater than the hitches that are bolted under the bumper. Is...

That may be partially true, but my 06 LX does not have a hole in the urethane bumper for the “through bumper” hitch. I believe a global “all 03-07 LC/LX have this” is inaccurate.

Yep, we agree. Some since 2003 have it, many do not.

Huh. I stand corrected. Learn something every day.

My ‘03 (with thru bumper hitch) is a January build date.
