I gotta wait till i get paid from the accident before placing my order, but i'll definitely grab a rear right away and a front later if funds dont allow for the repair and both.

Just read above you were rear-ended? everyone ok?
Yeah, all good. Thanks! Lady that hit me is trying to claim on my insurance, so there's some fun stuff going on. HAHA

So a $300 bump to go aluminum. That one in the photo looks aluminum.
A little more difficult to find someone who can weld aluminum and would put a puzzle like this together.

I wanted to update the thread, got the swing arm built a couple of weekends ago. For those of you on Instagram that follow me (BajaKuz) you saw it that day but got the photos uploaded to my website today.
I special ordered the kit from Coastal Off-Road without the tire swing with the exception of the swing joints since I wanted to do a full swing out. So this is what my buddy and I came up with on the fly. We beefed up the swing attachment and had to figure out a mounting point for the clamp and how to do a locking pin.
We added a plate between the two swing tabs to give more surface area to attach to.
A nice tilt to the tire not too much but it looked funny at 90° exactly.
We built out a latching point for the latch to hook onto and matched the size and shape of the swings on the other side.
Then we attached the gas can basket I got from ????? And added a mounting bracket that will be for my 2gal water Rotopax to attach to.
A few Poser shots before I took the bumper back off.

Next we just need to mount a circular plate for the rotopax to attach to and then I am thinking of cutting the factory tow hitch and welding it directly to the bumper high and tight. I want the three point full hitch because I plan to tow in the future.

Nope, I have pulled the bumper off both times. It’s sitting in the garage while the wifey currently daily drives the GX since we sold her Subaru two months ago.
Looking great. Are you going to paint or powdercoat?

PC is the plan
So I received the slightly newer version of the rear bumper. I went to test fit it after rack welding the center portion but noticed the body mount is getting in the way. Did you all have the issue too?

When I put my bumper back on I will take a look at the issue. And that is the rear bumper not the front bumper right?
It’s the rear bumper. I found out that the bodymount bolt did need to be trimmed up to the nut. The bumper is now completely flush with the underside of the frame.
I'm really digging the front bumper, and mine is all deer'd up...
I welded my front bumper this week its getting powder coated over the weekend
