Why does it stick out so far??Hey guys! I have a 21 Badlands Sasquatch and as many of you, I was not able to configure the bronco with a roof rack due to engine and SAS back in January 2021 when I ordered . It gets tiresome trying to fit 3-4 snowboards in the back and take two cars since I have to fold half the second row to make it work. (No truck in my life sadly) So I decided to look into a hitch mount cargo system in the meantime, in that search I came across the EXO system. Through trial and error, these are the parts I used while retaining the spare with enough clearance, I hope this helps some of you on the fence of buying the EXO or looking for options aside from a roof rack system.
This is how it turned out!
Draw tite trailer hitch 76527
Yakima straightshot 8002739
Yakima EXO swingbase 8002715
Topshelf 8002716
Snowbank 8002723
(Not pictured Gearlocker 8002718)
Hitch extender cuts the weight in half of the Draw Tite which comes out to 337 1/2 lbs, the entire system I plan to run weighs a total of 142lbs so in my scenario I have more than enough weight to play with.
I believe zroadz had a half rack for the end of the hard top but i havenāt seen anyone with it and I donāt want to be the first to try it lolMaybe we should be figuring out a way to get the spare on the back of the roof. How often do we change a tire ?
Hitch extender, if I remove the spare then I can do the hitch and swingbase itāll be a lot closer but I did not want to remove the spare. Donāt like the look without it.Why does it stick out so far??
Yeah, these things give me the creeps
I might have to do this, doesnāt stick out as much as mine. So you used the original hitch the bronco comes with and do you mind linking the Amazon extender you used?Thought I would post some pics of a slightly different setup. OE Hitch with a 9" extension from Amazon. It fits perfectly with the spare, even with the ski rack setup which protrudes towards the tire.
Another option would have been to mount the skis on the bottom and the box on top with the shorter 7" extension, but I didn't want the skis in the path of the debris from the tires.
yeah, Ford OE hitch I installed after purchase, and this extender:I might have to do this, doesnāt stick out as much as mine. So you used the original hitch the bronco comes with and do you mind linking the Amazon extender you used?
Happy when threads like this improve on what weāre all trying to do. I just ordered your setup, looks cleaner than mineyeah, Ford OE hitch I installed after purchase, and this extender:

I have only used it to carry snowboards. Iāve mounted as low as 148cm and as high as 163cm. Without bindings they do not pass the body at all. With bindings it takes some adjusting and they extend a bit past the body width wise on one end depending on how theyāre held but less then the Sasquatch flare. Hope that kind of answers the question I donāt have pictures of those specific angles. Iāll try and take some on my next outingHow do the skis fit in the top shelf - do they extend out past the bronco on either side?
