Love it! Painted or powder coated? Would you post more pictures of your rear bumper?
If the swing arm aligns too low in relation to the strike pad, where is the adjustment I need to make? I can get it closed, but have to manually lift the swing arm onto the strike pad to close the latch.

Anyone know if the pinch weld mentioned in post # 1 will have to be cut on both driver and passenger side?
I cut the drivers side. A few seconds with a sawzall and paint on the cut to prevent rust.
I need to trim the pinch weld and realign the passenger side. I'll pull it and redo it after I move in a few weeks and have another garage to work in. I also have an aluminum rear bumper AND my LX470 had the in frame receiver hitch, so two variables from the standard install.

I have the other hitch which mounted in the frame; it uses an adapter bolted in place to hold a receiver ball-mount. The four hole pattern on your standard rear frame (without the square cutout) and the frame with the square hole cutout for the adapter are different, which is why the holes on the center piece and the bumpers pieces are slotted to accommodate both patterns. All four holes on my frame were threaded, so the installation of the center piece is different (no through bolts or use of the spacers; just use the four captured nuts in the frame). He covers that in the instructions.

Has Ben documented the options available for the swing arm and I missed it? I emailed him a few times for options and pricing (admittedly not in a year or so, hasnt been top of my list) and I never heard back.
On his site. Try him again, his number and email are on the site. He's slammed but always got back with me.

I have a front and rear bumper from Ben - to be clear I am not complaining about his service, he always responded to texts or calls when I was installing the bumpers and for support. I am a satisfied customer and recommend him all the time.On his site. Try him again, his number and email are on the site. He's slammed but always got back with me.

I am just being factual, its not a slight at Ben - I know whats on his website, but if you look at his IG and his 200 series builds he's doing a lot of different stuff for that accessory swing arm - and email is often easier for me than sitting on the phone during work hours. When I bought my bumpers he always responded to emails.
Try looking at the 200 series offerings. The options are similar if I recall.
There's nothing on his website that lists 200 series offerings.
Guys I am in my 30's, I'm not geriatric. I can use the internet. If you have a link to a list of all the different configs that I somehow missed, please post it. If not, just a PSA: I can search and go to Bens website on my own.
Big boy stuff over here, I know.
People tried to help you when you ask a question. Your first post was vague and we cant guess that you already bought bumpers and know where to find the information you're asking for. big boy stuff and all.

I dont think it was vague at all... I asked if he has documented all the options for his accessory swing arm and I missed it. That is pretty specific.
Judging by the responses, I guess I did not miss it.

@bamabrock Did you have to drop the resonator to drill a half inch hole in the frame on passenger side? Wondering if I could somehow mark the center of the hole on the outside and drill it from outside in instead of inside out.
I realize its almost a year old since this tip was posted... but I also agree it would be nice to have a spacer inside the "box"...
I looked up what a stainless spacer in this spec would cost, and McMasterCarr was coming up with $34 each. No Bueno.
Also, the "perfect" interior dimension (if your box isn't crushed yet) seems to be near 1 7/8". Mine is still new and being assembled,
and I plan to use a 1 7/8 Coupling Nut with a 3/4" ID hole as my Spacer...
At $6 each.. I'll get 2 and grind the end if its a tad too snug. Also plan to paint it for an extra layer of corrosion resistance.

...but so far so good.. assembly is going well.
