People were asking for videos of the opening and closing of the tire carrier. Follow the link below to see the quick videos. Notice the latch has a locking feature to prevent unintended openings.

I thing a PS swingout could attach to the DS swingout.
Add an extension plate to the DS swingout “latching area“ which the PS swingout could latch onto.
The user would have to latch close the DS swingout first, then latch close the PS swingout onto that.
The PS swingout could hold jerry cans or whatever.

Alternatively, make a jerry can mount that sits over the tire. I don’t know how much more weight the DS swingout could handle, though. The swingout itself looks overbuilt, but the swingout mount itself may not be able to handle much more torque when the swingout is open. It would also be yet more weight on the DS side, and up higher.

An alternative latch point for a PS swingout could be something which fits into a standard trailer hitch - It shouldn’t preclude using the hitch, though. Maybe a combination of hitch rattle stopper and latch point for the PS swingout, attached by the same U bolt system used by hitch tightener anti rattle stabilizers.

I JUST ORDERED MINE!!!! I’m flippin stoked!!!!!!
Probably should have inquired about a military discount as an active duty service member. Nonetheless, I am happy to pay full price for such an awesome product that I’ve waited a long time for.

A few people have installed there carriers and ran into a small issue. It looks like Lexus has larger plastics on the corners. The bottom of the spindle on the frame mount may hit the plastic on land cruisers. That corner will need to be cut or ground down to fit inside the plastic like the picture below.
I'm really sorry about this and will start cutting this edge off before it ships. I appreciate the feedback and want to make this as easy as possible for the end user.

This is what it'll look like if you don't trim that corner, and the cap is difficult to re-install and I couldn't get all the screws back in place. Pretty sure I'm going to remove mine and cut the corner down and touch up the powder coat with paint.

The powder coater didn't tell me the exact color. Yours may vary. I would recommend talking with your local powder coater to see how they can help.
I will be offering a weld it yourself kit, the price (as of now) will be $640 shipped. I need to gather some pictures of all the pieces, but it is currently on the website.
I want to do a write-up/instructions as well for the DIY kit so that you know what you are getting into. Bear with me for when I can get that done.

Here's the prototype table addition. Some things may change but I'm liking the initial design. It's 16" wide and 8 3/4" deep. When folded up it sticks out about 1 1/4". Has a push button latch. Let me know what you think!
Loving it. Would like a bigger table. But beggars can’t be choosers. I’m sure it would be easy enough for one to create their own if they chose to. But if it’s to support someone who’s doing the most to produce quality products for our rigs, then im all for it.Here's the prototype table addition.

I honestly think the size is pretty decent considering it being a flip down accessory. Super impressed by the durability based on the pics.Loving it. Would like a bigger table.

I'll work on a price tomorrow!
Currently, no there is nothing to stop the swinging portion, I packed a lot of features into this design but I haven't found a easy and economical solution to a stop. HOWEVER, there are holes all over this thing. If you would like to add a strut,limit strap or something similar there's many features you could work off of. I may come up with an add on for this at a later time.
Some customers have used gas struts successfully.
The table covers up a lot of the mounting features except for the top. I don't think it's possible to work around that.
