Don't get crushed by your spare tire - In this video we look at easy-to-use Spare tire mounting solutions. We compare two of the most popular with the Rigd Ultraswing VS the Expedition One Dual Swing Bumper. Both of these pieces of gear are excellent in my opinion however I think they are each targeting very different customers. We break down the details so you can understand the differences.

We have some NEW cool MERCH out - teespring.com/stores/nathan-mueller BUT if you really want to support the channel all you really need to do is SUBSCRIBE - its Free.
a tip : watch series on Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Jaxx Anthony definitely, I have been watching on kaldroStream for months myself :D
@Jaxx Anthony definitely, have been using kaldroStream for since november myself =)
I’ve had the Rigd supply spare tire carrier as well as the Pro Eagle Jack for almost a year on my Ram 1500 setup. Both have been working flawlessly for me so far 👍🏾
Great video, there are more choices today for swingouts, lot of options. I bought a Wilco Offset about three years ago, a hitch mount with a wedge so you do not have any movement, it's really solid. I have a pair of jerry cans and hi-lift added with a 33" tire. It pivots on poly bushings like a leaf spring bushing. Secured with a large push/pull pin with T handle. I does extend the rear hitch about 4-6" and effects departure angle. I've considered buying a Relentless rear bumper with swingout....someday.
Dissent Offroad is a another one worth looking at.
Great video
Thanks for watching 🙏
I think another down side of having the bumper is in terms of carrying stuff. Say you are going to buy some furniture & you need to leave your tail gate open when carrying it, you can’t do that with the bumper. The ability to remove the RIGD is what I think makes it pretty sick.
Yes! This is a great point. Easily removable is a big deal for ppl that need there truck to double as a work truck.
You are right! I’m not a fan of how far the tire stick out too.. I like it as close as it can to the truck bed
Checking out Wescott Designs in AZ. They make a great rear rack system that is customizable.
Just stumbled across your channel, glad I did! Looks like some really good content! Gonna subb ya now and look forward to more videos 👊 -Josh
Awesome, Thanks for watching.
@@OutdoorAuto Hey you bet!
awesome I was looking into buying the ridgid
I was really impressed with how solid it was... and that says a lot because I really didn't expect to like it.
@@OutdoorAuto i just want 2 jerry cans and the table they sell, well my rifle just got shiped so got to wait till spring
can you mount the jerry can holders to the ridg without getting that additional plate with all the holes?
I want that expedition one soooo bad! Jst ordered my front bumper so it will be a while👊🏻
Oh nice... what Front bumper did you get?
@@OutdoorAuto i ordered the Demello Baja hoop bumper. Super low pro and clean like your a d d but with some grill gaurd. Still waiting on it to be finished. So far I’ve got the cbi sliders and the bumper should be done soon. Jst did the icon rxt leaf pack as well. These things are fun to build but man does it get expensive haha
Semi related question: do you rotate in your full size spare? If so, how does the tundra handle TPMS sensors? Do they automatically relearn once rotated in?
I’d be curious to hear your take on the South African Gobi X, or the Oregon based Buckstop.
I like these, but I'm just going to go with the AEV bed mounted spare for my Bison.
If you have the room in the bed... that is a great way to go.
I’ll be interested to watch a video on your long-term solution for trash storage. My Trashroo was done in 18 months, and I took it off when not in use.
I wonder if mine does well because I live in Idaho and it is really dry up here. What part of the country are you from? Also what eventually failed on yours that made it unusable. At my current rate it looks like I will get 2-3 years out of it. For the price, I'm fine with that. My hunch is the ones that cost 3 times as much probably don't last longer than 3 years either.
Wish I could get this in Hawaii! Shipping is crazy!
Everything is CRAZY in Hawaii.
Where did you get the molle system extension that is on the jerry can swing?
For your tundra did you get the mega fit or is this a standard
Do both or any of theres bock your backup sensors on the bumper? I have a F250 2022 Tremor
On the dual swing, doesn't that tire block the passenger side tail light?
Could they maybe drill a PIN hole a little different to give CLOSER placement to the rear of the vehicle?? (Rigd) I was looking at a bumper with swing out- which isn't that much different in price- but I don't want to add that much weight. I'm putting an EXTENDED gas tank on my GX which takes up the spare tire spot underneath but gives me 56 gallons instead of 23.. but the bumper is HEAVIER..
Another main concern is with the Rigd is if you are pulling a horse trailer or any type of trailer, the trailer's jack stand would get in the way of the swing arm therefore not allowing it to swing out fully to open the tailgate. You would have to unhook your trailer first just to have access to your tailgate. Hmmmm
Keep the videos coming man, have learned a ton so far!
Question on the Rigd Ultraswing. Probably hard to say with certainty, but do you think there’s enough clearance to open the top window on a truck cap with a 35” tire mounted?
My guess is yes... it sticks out there pretty far... but obviously in a worst case you can just swing it open...
@@OutdoorAuto awesome! Thanks for the insight. Keep the content coming!
1:16 You're weak! In the theater of my mind, I said that in the voice of Frank Costanza lol
Now I want to go watch Seinfeld tonight 🤔
Is the backup camera still useful with the expedition one? Looks like a good gap for it still. I'd rather not relocate it, and most of the swing out style bumpers block it entirely.
It depends on your tire size... I can kind of get it to work a little with a 35... with a 37 I think you are out of luck. Their is a relocation camera that uses the factory plug that is super easy.
@@OutdoorAuto Ok. I have 33s on my Tacoma, so it shouldn't block it much then. I love the swing outs for just getting the wheel out from under the truck, and it looks awesome IMO.
Where are those dunes you showed yourself running in? I'm in Florida and would love to take my Czech wife there for a day!
Ahh those are in Idaho. A place called Bruneau
After finding out the cheap one is 1200 I’ve decided that keeping my spare under the bed is OK ! Lolll
Definitely not for everyone… overland gear seems to keep getting more expensive. 😞
What's your thoughts on overlanding a 3/4 ton truck? Thanks!
I guess it just depends on the reason... I went up to fullsize to haul more gear. There are always trade-offs the bigger you go... but maybe they make sense for your situation.
I want a expedition one rear bumper so bad but that price is a hard pill to swallow.
I hear you... it is not cheap... but once you go through the whole thing it is easy to imagine why it cost so much to make. Even just the angles they did on the swing arms to make it fit snug look like a welding nightmare to me.
@@OutdoorAuto Yeah I have front and rear Fab Fours Premium Bumpers and that was expensive but now that I have 37's on my truck I'm looking for spare tire options. Looks like I will be upgrading soon at least the rear bumper. I just paid off the truck so now I can put some cash to the side
Anyone Know of anything like the dual swing for a 2019 wk2??
Is there a way to remove the swing out arms on the expedition bumper?
Both sides are removable yes
Why would someone spend $3500 on that thing? That’s just mind blowing! You could build it for a couple hundred bucks!
Oh to be that good of a welder… someday I’ll get there.
Do you know if that ultra swing can hold 2 super 73 bikes? 160lbs?
They say it can handle 250 lbs... so I think you are good.
@@OutdoorAuto thanks. Looks like I’ll have to be cautious of accessories if I want to add a rotopack with the bikes.
Bottle jack is the best and smallest.
Since the camping side is on the passenger side - almost 'all' the time - why would RIGD make the swing-out swing towards the passenger side forcing you to walk around the swing-out at camp when you are going from the truck bed to camp. Why would they have not made the swing out toward the driver's side?
Hmmm... Interesting question. I guess I have never thought about what is the "Camping Side" of my truck... for me it is usually dictated by the camping spot. For people with soft top tents I could see them coordinating which way it opens with the swing out and for sure having a "Camping side"... Now I am curious... For most people is there a particular side you consider your camping side?
@@OutdoorAuto Wel - every commercially built camper has its camping side on the passenger side. Vans A B C class tow behind etc etc
Passenger side is camping side for me
@@leebourgoin1528 Ya - that would be the norm for any camp oriented vehicles. It's ironic that the "experienced" "overlander" who has apparently been doing this forever has no clue which side people camp on...
It may be because the person doing the opening the most often is the driver. I would also assume that it is getting opened far more often than just at camp so the walking around at camp gets outweighed by the many other times it’s being opened when not at camp.
Where in Valley county are you?
I’m in New Meadows
Great review also!
I am actually over in 5B now.... also have a farm down in Meridian.
Did you have to move your camera?
Good question... with the rigd you need to move the camera if you want to use it... with the Expedition 1 it really depends on the size of the spare and how you mount it... I felt I could still see enough with it to work... but I also am not much of a camera user in the first place. there are camera relocation kits out there that are really easy to install... Ed Shin shows an install on his channel over @KrokemOutdoors
@@OutdoorAuto Ed Shin is a cool dude!! I'm only going to a 35 and I am with you about cameras but sometimes they are just helpful ;)
Wilco offroad solo high clearance
I hear so many good things about this setup... but I have never used it.
@@OutdoorAuto I’m running it right now and works great. Very similar to what you have as well.
Can anyone who ownes either of these bumpers comment on my fear that putting this much weight this far behind the rear axle causes instability in the truck? Especially the Expedition One, with a 40" tire and a couple of rotopacs?
I just ran the Expedition One in Baja a 2nd time, with a 37" (they do not rate it for a 40" tire) and two 5 gallon Jerry Cans (larger than Roto packs) plus a ProEagle Jack.... no issues with instability even at 80 MPH in the desert trails.... We hit some WHoops sections and also jumped the truck... bumper held up fine.... the issue isn't really the bumper... it is having your suspension dialed in for carrying that much weight. I have after market Deavers and triple bypass shocks that make it easy to program for that weight. You need to know the total weight you intend to add to the bed of the truck before you pick your Leafsprings/Add a leaf, shocks and sometimes even airbags.... depending on your setup.
Can you say eeeeeexpensive :( id love one
Yeah... definitely not cheap... but both are Made in the USA and as far as I can tell, either made to order or in small batches... so I can't see the price coming down.
Bummer on Expedition One. For whatever reason, they don't make that rear bumper for an F150 (according to their website). Odd since they have a Ranger and F250/350 rear. Tried to call them, but they must be closed for MLK day.
Weird... Probably closed today... I would definitely call them... considering the f150 is the most popular truck in the US... it would be surprising if they don't have it.
@@OutdoorAuto Confirmed that Expedition One does not make a rear or front bumper for an F150. Just a front bumper for a Raptor. That's the most I can get from them. Had two different people from Expedition One on the phone to confirm that and both were going to talk to the engineers and owner about are they going to, when will they have one, etc. and they were to call or email me back. First time was last Thursday. Second time was Monday. Zero response. Sad and not good customer service. 😕
@@OutdoorAuto UPDATE: Not sure if anyone is actually following this (or cares), but I did hear back from Expedition One. Their ownership has confirmed that they do not and have no current plans to make front or rear bumpers for an F150. They will provide me information on material thickness, etc. and will sell me a kit for swing arms, bearings, tire carrier, etc. so I can have a local shop fab a bumper for me, but that's it for an F150. 😕
@@shadow.overland Well I guess if you have a good fab shop it could work... Thats too bad.
Look, another Jeep
Where 😂
I’d like to eat that first cow and pet that second one
LOL
How do you keep some damn fool from STEALING the whole outfit?? Locks- padlocks etc. are useless.. they're too easy to overcome..
