Well they only sent me the bracket. Which has the mounting bolts out further. No new latch. So I’m not happy with a plastic latch. I feel that’s going to break after a couple of months. Gonna call undercover Monday to see if I can buy a spare metal latch - it’s in tho. I was able to fit everything I wanted to and more

I went ahead and told my wife to order them. Guess I’ll take my chances. Quick question. Do you lose access to the bed hook in that back corner?  I use that as one of my tie down points for my dirt bikes.

I’ll confirm in the am for you but I’m pretty sure yes. 

 

Then again they they come out so easily that you could remove when having the bikes loaded.

You do. But you have access to the top tie down spot if you wanted to buy the inserts for them.

Do you have a write-up for how you mounted your hitches?  Wouldn't mind doing that with mine, when I get my case(s).

The bottom one has broken. Too much flex in the swingcase plastic. I am going to get another and this time sandwich the case with some plywood to give it some backbone to support the weight

Received my driver side box the other day. Mine came with a plastic latch. Seems pretty solid. I don’t see why it wouldn’t hold up as long as you aren’t slamming it shut every time.

Agreed once they sent me the right length bracket it was fine. I don’t go in the swingcase daily so it should last.
