The Yakima HitchLock for Yakima Hitch Mounted Bike Racks - Same Key System (SKS) # Y07235 is the lock you are seeking. It is designed to work with the Replacement Hitch Bolt, Nut and Clip for Yakima Bike Racks and DryDock Load Assist - 2" Hitches # Y8780022 which is a fit for your BackSwing 4.

Hey John! The correct replacement hitch pin for the Yakima BackSwing #Y02483 is the Replacement Hitch Bolt #Y8890200. If you need the nut insert with the nut as well then the #8890260 includes that along with the hitch pin. What happened to the…

I checked with Yakima and the bolt size that comes with the replacement mounting hardware part #8830021 is 1/4-20 x 2.25" in size.

I believe you are referring to the Yakima HoldUp #Y02443. If you need just the HitchLock alone, that is the #Y07235. However, if you need the hitch pin that is compatible with both the HitchLock and the HoldUp itself, that is the #Y8890200.

Hey Chris, thanks for all of the information and photos! The part you're wanting for your older Yakima FullSwing 4 (8002403) is the kit 8780024, but it has been discontinued by Yakima so the only way you'll be able to get that exact setup is…

Hello Hal, Great question! It really would be nice if Toyota kept their receiver the same size as everyone else’s so any standard 2" lock would fit. The good news is that Infinite Rule actually made a lock specifically for the 2024+ Toyota…

We have actually seen this issue before. The 2" receivers on Toyota trucks and SUVs have a slightly larger diameter on the outside of the receiver tube than most typical 2 inch hitches. This is partially the powder coating, but the steel itself…

I contacted our representative at Yakima regarding a shorter replacement bolt for the Yakima DoubleDown #Y0424. The replacement bolt part 8820052 was 3-3/4 inches long but is now discontinued. Discontinued part 8820052 has been replaced by Yakima…

The #Y8890200 hitch pin will fit the Yakima KingPin, but it still won't be long enough to pass through your wider that usual factory receiver on your Toyota Tacoma. You'll need to remove the threaded insert in the shank of your bike rack, and…

Hi Victor; like many other bike racks the Yakima DoubleDown uses a uniquely threaded hitch pin so you will need to stick with the Yakima replacement. The hitch pin is the #Y8890176 and then for the lock you can use the #Y07235.

Answer 10

If you had the version of the Yakima DoubleDown that used a threaded hitch pin the lock kit you'd want is the #Y07235 which would use the hitch pin the rack already has. If you wanted an option to lock the rack as well as bikes to the rack…

Thanks for the pictures John! I reached out to Yakima and they are aware of the double wall receiver on the new Toyota's but do not have a solution for it as of (09/12/2024). The only solution I have for you today is to drill out the threads on…

Hey Eric, I spoke with Yakima and they unfortunately no longer offer a compatible hitch pin for the HookUp bike rack. Back when this was available there weren't double-walled trailer hitch receiver tubes so the pin length wasn't an issue. The…
