Fjamming's "Genie"

That swing out looks great, I think your right about the weight especialy about trying to open it when on a angle.

What is involved with the install?

Any price info?

Vince,

Terry from AP is doing the write up on the install. I'm going to give a rough description of the installation process, but the official write up is up to All Pro. I don't want to mislead anyone.

The entire process took AP about 1 hour and 45 min. They had a few people helping, but they also were taking pictures and notes at the same time. It'll probably go much faster after a few more installs.

First, the swingout is placed over the rear bumper for some measurements. With a marker, mark the points where holes need to be drilled.





Use a center punch to mark the holes.


Drill pilot holes.




An access hole needs to drilled on the inner portion of the bumper so you can thread the nuts on. A 2.5" or 3" hole would work well. We used a 2.5", but 3" would be easier. I can remember the exact measurement, but I think it was 2" and 2.5" from the edge. Once you look at the bumper and the holes it should be pretty self explanatory. Make sure the hole is filed down and painted. You wouldn't want to cut your finger while thread the nuts on.

[Fjamming]

Now that the holes are drilled, it's just a matter of putting the bolts in.









Don't attach the swingout onto the spindle yet. Attach the bumper is much easier without the entire swingout on it.





Put some grease on the spindle before assembly.




Assemble and adjust the latch. I had mine set to be a little tight. I want it to be snug and not come loose.




Here you go. All done!

The new swing out looks great! Look forward to seeing it with other accessories installed.

Excellent Tony, the install looks pretty straight forward (not something I would attempt myself however).

Thanks again.

I just wondering if the can holders should be located a little more inboard as to not block the rear lights as much (might just be the angle of the photo though).

There's probably a little more room for that. One thing to consider is the upper bar. If the bottom plate is located more inboard, there's a chance that when the can moves (while vehicle is moving) it can come in contact against the bar. I think it can be done if the bar is bent a little differently.

That looks great on your truck. Lots of function
thanks

Thanks Don. This will allow me to put off getting a roof rack a bit longer. I also like the fact that it comes off easily with removal of a snap ring. I won't be lugging this around unless I need it.
