***Fitment Notes –
Identify that you have at least 4 ½” from your hitch pinhole toward the front of your vehicle. Doing so will ensure that the Hitchgate will be able to engage its wedge lock design eliminating any wobble or play in your receiver that you may have.
Factors that can result in the receiver tubing not fitting can be caused by:
- The receiver tubing has a plate on the back end of the receiver that restricts the Wilco Offroad Hitchgate Switch Spare Tire Carrier (UHG4100-LP) tubing from running back enough for the wedge lock to have room to engage or hitch pin holes to align.
- Some model vehicles have a muffler in the rear that interferes with how far back the tubing can run. This will require the muffler or exhaust components to be relocated.
- You want to make sure the face of your hitch receiver recedes no more than 1” behind your bumper.
**Notice of maintenance required** – Periodic tightening of the pivot bolt with a torque wrench to at least 60-70 lbs every few months is needed to prevent movement on the swing arm. Also, over time replacing the Delrin washers and T handle bushings.
