Those are the recovery locations at the bottom of the bumper. See images below. Since you got the aluminum this is the method Ben and his crew came up with. I think its a solid solution for the recovery. Place a d ring and tell your friend to "PULL"
Will they sell those separately? I don't think they were available when I got my aluminum bumper two ago. I've just used a warn tow hitch shackle for recovery
Thanks so much.Those are the recovery locations at the bottom of the bumper. See images below. Since you got the aluminum this is the method Ben and his crew came up with. I think its a solid solution for the recovery. Place a d ring and tell your friend to "PULL"
I would give Ben a ring and ask.
License plate brackets on the swing arm
Perfect, thank you.

Installing my aluminum rear bumper tomorrow. Any tips on bolting the swing arm nut plates to the bumper? I can't get any sockets on the bolt, they won't fit, not enough room, I can only get wrenches on it. Not sure how I would torque that to 100ft lbs with wrenches.
Had this same problem, torque to a few grunts was the best I could do. Should be fine.

Just wanted to drop in and say I’m about halfway through my install! This thing is no joke, definitely a lot of work but the payoff is huge.
One thing I’ve been struggling with is this step in the instructions. It says Install the three lower M14 bolts but believe it or not, the rearmost bolt was M14 but on my rig the forward two captive nuts were actually M12! The threaded nut horizontally in the frame that the wing stiffener bolts to was also M12.

With all that being said my LX is a 1998 and this could just be something with the very first 100’s? Anybody else run into this? Maybe I’m doing something wrong? I was short a couple M12 bolts but got it together and will grab a couple sometime soon. Super pumped to get the swingarm accessories up.
Edit: Talked to Cole at Dissent and apparently they've only seen this on two other 1998 100 Series, and that they must've reused nut plates from the 80 series.
Either way, he's hooking me up with a few more M12 bolts. Great CS per usual from Dissent.

My dissent steel rear bumper started giving me trouble. The side wing of the bumper started hitting the body. This is the side of the tire carrier is. Appears to me the weight of the tire pushes the side up and hits the body near wheel-well. I removed the high-lift jack from the tire carrier to reduce the weight but still, it hits hard. See attached pictures. Has anyone else had this issue?
Hi Gang,
slowwwwly starting the install.
One thing I have notice w/r no cut alum base install, I see no call outs for lockwashers in the instructions nor deepsouth's and brady adventures youtube videos.
What's the thinking here?

3/4 the way done w. the dual swing out bumper install.
w/r to the swing out spindles, these came preassembled. I'm going to grease gun 'em.
Anyone know how to tell if there is enough grease in there (other bearing you see grease just start to come out of the seals)?
Just bought a mini-gun....wondering if I should of just bought a full sized cartridge for my old full sized gun.

Once you put the swing arms on, start pumping the grease. Full sized cartridge and go with the parenthetical COA you were hoping to avoid. Your spindles will thank you for the lube.
You’ll need to grease them periodically. You should be greasing the drive shafts and U-joints every 5k anyways so just put a squeeze or two in the spindles while you’re at it.
Your truck is a half elegant machine and a half big, dumb animal that will go forever with a little bit of petroleum products applied in the right spots.

so is the entire bearing cylindrical housing between the upper and lower bearing seats to be filled w. grease (that be a lot of grease)?
Also, been around the block a few times but never heard the phrase "parenthetical COA"
. Wiki somewhat explained the phrase, but could not make heads/tails out of the "COA" part. Please enlighten me

Ha. COA = Course of action.
Yeah, it’s a fair bit of grease especially the first time hence the recommendation to grab the adult sized tube. There isn’t that much space inside the spindle but it’s really the only way to keep those bearings packed full of grease. I could be mistaken but I think you should be able to hand pack the bearings with grease before you put them in then just top off via the fitting.
