The box arrived shredded but everything inside seemed OK. It monitored OK and the swingarms worked fine. Doesn’t seem to be any defects except. Some of the powder coating broke away with a loud shot noise as always Torquing the one nut see photo. That’s on Yakima.

You guys have yet to give me a reason for leaving a bad review. Top notch customer service and will definitely continue to purchase items from you guys in the future.

Service was great!!

This is sobeasy to install! It only took me 20 minutes. This definitely gives me much needed storage space for my 2023 Thor Scope 18M



by:

Stout and well executed. EASY to install.
Could use some ergonomic tweaks (I’m 70),
but overall is a very good value.
We’ll see, cuz we haven’t gone 10K miles yet...
etrailer rocks btw

  • Can The Yakima EXO GearWarrior Cargo Basket Mount to Yakima Crossbars?
    For mounting a basket on your crossbars you will need to use the Yakima SkinnyWarrior # Y07014 as the Yakima GearWarrior Cargo Carrier # Y37VR can only be mounted to the Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y34VR or TopShelf # Y94VR. The Yakima SkinnyWarrior # Y07014 is 58" Long by 23" Wide and can support up to 165lbs. It will mount to your Yakima Corebar without needing any additional adapters as it comes with mounts that are adjustable.

  • Best Hitch Recommendation for 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xE
    Hey Bobby, for a Yakima Exo the best hitch for your 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4Xe would be the Curt part # C63FV as it has a tube that sticks out a bit further than other hitches. This will work great with the Yakima SwingBase part # Y34VR that you referenced.

  • What Are The Dimensions On The Replacement SwingBase Shank Looking For A Solution To Clear Spare
    Hey John, The dimensions on the replacement shank # Y26KV are 5" from the hitch pin to the closest bracket bolt holes, and 9-3/4" to the farther bracket bolt hole. That is the same as the original one that comes in the normal Yakima SwingBase # Y34VR. What I recommend for your setup is the Yakima StraightShot Extension # Y69VR. You will put that in the receiver of your Bronco and it will allow you to move your receiver out 7-1/4", plenty of room to clear your spare. What are you using...

  • Can the I Use the Yakima EXO System on the Back of My 2024 Leisure Travel Van?
    Hello Daren, That is a great question, and one we still have not been able to answer directly. Can you please measure from your back axle to the hitch pin hole on your receiver on your hitch? Once I get that measurement from you I will be able to tell you if you can use the EXO system or not. If we had a Sprinter 3500 out in the parking lot right now I would tromp through the snow myself to get it for you. I greatly appreciate your time, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • Will the etrailer Universal Tow Bar Cover Work w/ the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Base?
    Hey Stuart! Sorry but the etrailer Universal Tow Bar Cover item # e76FV is not going to work really well with the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Base item # Y34VR. It measures 40" long and the Swingaway Base is 49" long. It'll slide over and attach but it won't cover past the shank for the hitch receiver. I do not have another option for you. If you have any additional questions feel free to throw them into the comment box below.

  • Mounting Hardware for Yakima SkinnyWarrior Basket to Fit Yakima EXO SwingBase
    Hey Patrick, thanks for reaching out! The GearWarrior # Y37VR and SkinnyWarrior # Y07014 have different dimensions and when I reached out to my contact at Yakima they said they haven't given the green light on using the SkinnyWarrior with the EXO SwingBase # Y34VR. With that being said, the replacement mounting hardware for the GearWarrior includes parts # Y46QJ and # Y66QJ so if you wanted to try using your SkinnyWarrior, you're more than welcome to! Please note that you'll need 2 of...

  • Torque Spec for Installation of Yakima Exo SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender Tongue
    The bolts on the Replacement Tongue for Yakima Exo SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y26KV should be tightened to 100 Nm. This can be found on page 2 of the instructions for the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender - 2" Hitches # Y34VR which I attached below. I also included an installation video for your reference.

  • Replacement Anti-Rattle Bolt for a Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away
    Hey Matt, thanks for reaching out! We have the Anti-Rattle Hitch Bolt and Washer # Y52FR for your Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR. This is the exact same thing that would have come with your SwingBase, and it measures 4-5/8" long overall (see attached photo). If you're wanting something with a different length then your best bet is to visit your local hardware/home improvement store and find something that fits and works with the length you're needing.

  • Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin for Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender
    Yakima has a few different anti-rattle threaded hitch bolt designs and the one you want for your Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR is part # Y52FR on our site. This is the same as the 8880953 you mentioned, it just has our part number instead.

  • How to Tell if Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender Will Clear Rear Van Doors
    The Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR measures 33" from the center of the receiver out to the arm. While this should be enough room for you to open up the rear doors on your 2005 Ford Econoline, we haven't test fit this application so you can use this measurement to do so. I'm attaching a review video where we go over some of these measurements as well as a sheet showing some other dimensions of this system for you to check out.

  • Will Yakima EXO Swing Away Cargo Carrier Clear Doors on 2023 Roadtrek Zion on Ram ProMaster 3500
    The # Y62VR shouldn't have any issues clearing the doors on your 2023 Roadtrek Zion on the Ram ProMaster 3500 chassis. The extender # Y34VR measures 33" from the center of the receiver out to the arm if you want to measure just to be sure. I have attached a picture along with a link to a review below where a customer said it allows both doors to open for full access into the rear of the van. They have a Thor Sequence which is also built on the ProMaster 3500 chassis.

  • What are the Dimensions of the Yakima EXO Swing Away Rack
    I got some information from Yakima and included a diagram of the EXO SwingBase # Y34VR, which is the base part for the EXO SwingBase 2 Tier # Y82VR. Though the measurement from the pin hole to the closest edge of the carrier is not included in said diagrams, the person I spoke with at Yakima said it is 5 1/2 inches.

  • Does the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender Reduce Tongue Weight Capacity?
    The Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender item # Y34VR you were looking at does not reduce your tongue weight capacity by 50%. The only reduction it would cause to your 350 lbs capacity would be the 65 lbs weight of the EXO SwingBase itself. If you are looking for accessories the Yakima GearWarrior Cargo Carrier for Modular EXO System item # Y37VR is 60" Long x 23" Wide and can hold up to 250 lbs of cargo. The Yakima DoubleUp 2 Bike Rack for Modular EXO System item # Y24VR is...

    Yes! We do have those parts for your Yakima SwingBase # Y34VR.

  • Recommended Hitch Extender for a Yakima EXO SwingBase
    Hey Becky, I'd just suggest using a hitch extender like the Yakima StraightShot Hitch Extension # Y69VR. This will push your Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR out an additional 7 1/4" so it should clear the lip on your gas tanks. If you'd like, you can measure the distance needed to clear the lip and let me know what that and I'd be happy to find an extender we know will work.

  • Availability of Swingaway Kit for Yakima EXO and Does Light Kit Fit
    For the Yakima EXO kits they offer a swing base with the part # Y34VR that will allow you to swing the rack away from the rear of the vehicle to access the rear door. Since the light kit part # Y74VR attaches to the rear of the rack it would swing away with rack and would work perfectly fine.

  • Can TopShelf For Yakima Exo SwingBase be Used in Vertical 2 Inch Hitch
    Hey Brian, There is not an adapter or any way to use the TopShelf for Yakima EXO SwingBase # Y94VR in a vertical 2 inch receiver. The TopShelf does require you to use the Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y34VR. If you're looking for a way to carry bikes on your trailer tongue we do have something for that, the Jack-It 2 Bike Rack for A-Frame Trailers # LGA55VR.

  • Compatibility of Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier With Storage On Mercedes Interstate RV
    To determine if you will be able to open your doors fully on your Mercedes Interstate 24 GT Class B RV you will need to measure from the center of the hitch to where the rear storage compartment open to. The Base # Y34VR is going to measure 29" from the center of the receiver to the locking pin on the hinge. It will also sit 8" above the top of the receiver to the top of the pin.

  • Compatibility of Yakima EXO System Swing Base With 2019 Ford Transit T350
    As long as your Ford Transit has a 2 inch hitch and its hitch pin hole isn't recessed under the vehicle by more than 4-1/4 inches, the Yakima EXO Swing Base, part # Y34VR would work great on your Transit T350. To determine how far under the vehicle the hitch pin hole is recessed, place a straight edge like a yardstick or 2x4 vertically up against the rear bumper. Measure the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the straight edge. If this distance is less than 4-1/4 inches,...

  • Could Yakima Exo 2 Tier Swingbase Clear Rear Spare of Jeep Wrangler
    From the pin hole to the nearest portion of the Yakima Exo SwingBase # Y34VR measures 5-1/2 inches. Now this is just the swingbase of the # Y82VR which has the more important dimension of 16 inches from it's pin hole to the back of the vertical bracket which would easily fit on a Wrangler and clear the spare.

  • Swing Out Hitch Adapter That Will Allow For Rear Swing Gate On JL Wrangler To Open
    The Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y02483 will allow you to open the rear hatch on your JLU Wrangler Sahara. This will work with cargo carriers or bike racks that use a 2" receiver. Do note that depending on your gear loaded you may not be able to fully open the rear door the 90 degrees but you will have plenty of room to access your golf bag cart. This extender will reduce your Jeep's tongue weight capacity by 50% with a maximum weight capacity of 250lbs. Another option...

  • Will the Yakima Exo Swing Base Clear An Oversized Jeep Wrangler Spare Tire
    The Yakima EXO SwingBase Swing Away Hitch Extender - 2 inch Hitches # Y34VR from its farthest stretched out point is 35-1/2 inches long. With your tire being 35 inches it should just clear it. The Yakima Exo has a simple bolt-on attachment to your vehicle's hitch receiver. It has a durable steel construction that has a black powder coat which is rust resistant. I attached a review video link below.

  • Does Only Yakima Carrier Fit on Exo Swing Base
    On the Yakima EXO SwingBase part # Y34VR only the Yakima Exo boxes can fit due to the unique attachment hardware. For that you'd want the part # Y62VR which comes with the box and the base.
