• 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...

• 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.

• 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.

• Can The Yakima EXO GearWarrior Cargo Basket Mount to Yakima Crossbars?

• 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...

• 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.

• 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.

• Is There Option for Hitch Mounted Spare Carrier
  Hey Chan, so I have a solution for you but the # Y34VR doesn't have a way to carry a spare and isn't compatible with the spare carrier you mentioned. Instead you would want to start with the Yakima swing away hitch adapter part # Y02483 which you could then install a hitch mounted spare carrier like the part # 6715 and you'd have what you are looking for.

• 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%.

• 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.

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,...
