Well I followed suit at least as a temporary fix. Looks like shit for now haha.
you can see how banged up that lower bracket is from major interference of the lower heim joint due to the improper alignment.
I couldn’t find a nut to get the lower heim on the top of the bracket (too tight) so...
Were you able to mount your spare? If so, I'm curious if it causes any sag on the swing arm or if the weight seems to be properly transferred to the bearing joint?
Hi everyone,
Still working with Todd. As he mentioned above, a new video is supposed to come out and I'll see if anything contained therein resolves the issue, but as of now still nothing in terms if alignment with the heim joints, as @Arokcrwlr mentioned. As soon as a solution is found I...
Definitely. When I spoke with Todd he mentioned they'd sent out a good amount that first day. So far I seem to be the only one. Hopefully it was a fluke and I was just the (un)lucky soul!
They are going to be doing a detailed video on adjustment points here in the next week, I've just been...
Alrighty folks quick update. @TURN Todd gave me a call today to brainstorm what could possibly be effecting the significant mis-alignment. No solution yet but we chatted a bit to get all the details down.
As for the rear tire carrier, Todd was able to confirm that it was designed for...
Not yet, just had a follow-up with Todd requesting some more pictures though so the communication is solid so far.
Quick Edit: Sent a plethora of photos to Turn yesterday evening. Todd is working with his team to see if they can spot anything, so for now back to the Jeapordy theme.
Trouble shooting with Todd at the moment. I'll keep everyone posted, whether it's a solution from Turn or if my pride needs to take a smack down because I screwed something up, I'll update.
Stay tuned...
Yeah I'll try and remember after work for photos. I'll take photos of the brackets not lining up too. Essentially, the actual tire carrier that the tire bolts do is adjustable to account for wheel offsets and tire sizes.
When this is adjusted to it's longest length (i.e. to house the deepest(?)...
Ok I’m sending this to @Turn Offroad @TURN Todd , but I’m also going to post it here for transparency.
My install was a nightmare. Missing hardware, certain product functions are not the same as the install video, the swing arm brackets for attaching to the tailgate do not align, and the spare...
I've not gotten around to it yet, unfortunately. We've had some nasty weather and i don't have room in the garage to install in there. I'll post pictures once I get to the install, as well as thoughts on how smooth it all operates!
Damn, all good ideas. I can't believe I didn't think to look up the other videos for their existing products, lol!
It did indeed come with a license plate relocation, and based on the brackets it looks like it might be the spare tire mounted option.
Thanks for the great ideas, time to start...
@Turn Offroad @TURN Todd
So great news, the new bumper + swing-out tire carrier has already arrived!
Bad news, no instructions? I know you mentioned an install video is in the works but is there no PDF to get started with?
Hope ya'll had a kick ass time at KOH
Yeah I think they are pretty reputable. I just picked up some husky straps at home depot personally, they've done the job without issue. Granted i bought pretty long ones (don't remember how long) and so there's a lot of strap holding a single item down lol.
I primarily store bulky semi-soft items like large tents, pop-up awnings, etc. on my roof rack for bigger trips. i usually just use ratchet straps to secure it around the cross bars. I can send a picture of how I do it when I get home from work if you'd like.
Other options include specific...
Actually, screw it; I'll save folks a click for the rear bumper + tire carrier combo! Hope this helps, folks. I'm stoked on it! For the price point this is an absolute steal compared to similar products on the market right now. No doubts about Turn's quality either, so far they've been...
