The only ones we bought were 20 ft ones, as they can reach all the wheels. I believe based on the schematics, the 32 foot reel is just wider so it should fit just fine. Bill, if you are serious about purchasing the 32 ft one, we may be able to get an order for you. Not sure if we have a minimum from Apex. I can look into it if you want. DM me if interested.

Yes, the 32ft one is just a tad more windings.

I'm assuming not, but do you know if it will fit with a bed extender in the closed position?

I've got the EV Sportline one, R1T.

If you can measure from the closed compressor door to the extender I can let you know.

Looks like its a bit over 4 1/2 inches.

Nope don't think so. It's about 5.5 in.

Looks awesome. Excited for the R1S Version.

Curious for this one, why have the reel stick out so far away from the mounts? Seems like you could cut that distance in half which would cut down on the force applied so far out.

That's an aberration of the video camera lens. Its really not that much. Also you'll see that I don't have very much room to even get the bolts in to tighten the apex reel to the mount. I'd say I'm at a comfortable minimum.

Has anyone had an issue with the reel not locking into the gear guard receptacles? Seems no matter how hard I shove it in, then lock, it will either fall out off-road or can be pulled out by hand. Haven't had a chance to pull out the actual cable to test that yet (and I've never actually used it at all).

I have been having the same issue. I’m going to reach out to @Sojhinn now.
