Dave = LCwizard here on mud
front installed. the rear takes a little more work. the rear cross member that has to come off is a bit of a bear. lots of rivets to grind drill and pound on!!
Is there anybody who doesn't love 4+ products ?!??
I don't. Matter of fact I think they're fairly sub-par. He's welcome to prove me wrong though and send me a couple bumpers and some sliders.

JUUUUUST A BIT OUTSIDE!!!
Well a man can try
put my rear bumper on tonight. I'm wanting to make sure that I am putting things together right. with the cam latch do I really have to disassemble it every time I want to open the bumper? seems like I'm going to loose a part when I do that. no pictures tonight but I'll try to get some up tomorrow
I thought that bumper just had a pin that goes through the tabs on each swing out?
Open swing outs, replace handle. pin and clip. No lost parts.
if someone has a close up picture of the latch mechanism I'd appreciate it
I'll try to take one tonight.
here's a crappy phone pic
I lost that little pin after a few uses..
I replace them with these pins (you can used the original) and a lanyard (mcmastercarr) that I attached to the bumper so that it does not get lost any more..

Lanyard
here's some shots. It's a single arm carrier but the concept is the same
leave about 1/3~3/16" gap between the flat of the cam handle and face of the latch
make sure the eye bolt is flat to the horizon and lock it down with the locking nut

closed
I do put lanyards on the handle now. I lost a couple of those myself. I drove about 800 miles home once with a screwdriver in the eye bolt keeping the arms shut. The eye-bolt has a 3/8" hole so a 3/8" bolt also works as back up
ok this is how i have it set up. i just wasnt sure if i really did have to remove the eye bolt and handle every time to open it or not. its a little cumbersome when getting in and out of the back a lot, but is very secure and everything is well made for sure. i am very impressed so far.
i would like to buy their rear tire carrier...but not sure if I'm ready to throw down that much $$
