First of all, deep memes of this caliber are mud-unforeseen. Second of all, literally just weld one on I mean what is your problem

hahahahahhahahaha...but seriously, you wanna pay for it?

we are happy to put the time and effort into it, but will only do it if we actually go through the process of having it certified as a class iii receiver. this involves 3rd party testing, lawyers, stamped engineering work, jig design and building, in addition to all the extra work to just design/integrate a receiver into our already finalized design. and we certainly can't afford all those extra costs. so, no.

Great bumper. Lacks a receiver hitch.

Customer stopped by the shop recently, and was finally able to get a good pic of what our bumper is intended to allow (hitch mounting):

Hiya! If im running a 35 spare and the jack/rotopax on the other arm is there enough clearance to run the ARB Elements fridge 32.3" w without obscuring the right side light cluster and is there a way to mount the fridge in front of the jack & rotopax. Thanks!

You're talking about mounting the fridge on the outside of the vehicle?

This is either a brilliant troll or the ultimate overlander build...swingout mounted fridge heck yeah!...either way I am very interested to see the outcome.

Yep that model is designed for outside the vehicle use. I want to keep it outside as my plan is to sleep on the drawer system I’m having built.

naw not trolling just trying to think thru how all the peices I need are going to fit together! And this doesn’t even take into account how and where the camp stoves going!

So, having not seen one of these fridges before, it’s hard to say how it would work. Likely going to need a custom tray for it to sit in? If it’s anything like a cooler type thing.

There are different sizes available but most of the ones I've seen are comperable in size to the commonly seen Yeti coolers. I've seen plenty of Yetis mounted to rear bumpers so I suppose it's feasible to have the fridge mounted to the swingout. But yeah for sure would need a custom tray to mount it.

Anyone have this bumper and the Man-A-Fre 24 42 gallon auxiliary tank? Any interference issues?

Would love to hear an answer to this. I know for a solid fact there are no interference issues with an LRA sub tank, but that is the only thing we've had in the shop for verification.

Man-A-Fre tank is the LRA aux tank from Australia. They make two sizes, 24 gallon and 42 gallons that replace the spare. I have the 24 gallon version Do you know if this version fits?

Yes it fits, that is the one that has been test fit in the shop with our bumper.

 

[NeverFinis]

Correction. I have the 42 gallon LRA sub tank, and not the 24 gallon tank. Other than being deeper than the 24 gallon tank, I think the other dimensions are the same. Any issues with the bumper that you can see?

that looks like the same tank, just with extra height, from this view

In case anyone was wondering, you can most definitely install a Slee hitch into a Delta bumper. The process to do so is pretty simple following the Slee instructions since Dave designed the Delta bumper with the intent on allowing folks to do just this. I just used a sharpie to mark out a box around the 4 factory bolt holes in the rear cross member and then used a zip wheel and saw-zall to cut a rectangle out of the bumper shell and rear cross member. Apply some primer and black paint to the cut edges and then bolt it all together. The result is nice and clean bumper, now with a super bomber hitch.
