I made my own. Wanted to use a different swing out. At the time I had access to a cnc plasma cutter that could drill holes on the same gantry. Fun project, I’m happy with how it came out. Def not the easy way of doing it
I did mine with ¼" plywood. Then laid out the parts in my cam software so I could cut them on the cnc
CAD. Cardboard. Aided. Design. 😄
Sometimes I feel so old school. I’m using oxyacetylene, angle grinders, and only recently upgraded to mig… CAD I’ve done… but CNC seems so high tech for a 40.

Good call. I think ill do that! Thanks everyone for the help.
Proffit's bumper is the best looking one I have seen with 4 plus coming in on a close 2nd. They are not willing to sell it to the public so I am planning on re-creating something like this with my own touches.

They build theirs in two pieces which is super smart. There's a lot of holes that can be used for fasteners in the rear frame section, and some can be very tricky to get at.
Well that is good to know! Do they have an inner c-channel that mounts directly to the rear bumper frame and attach the outer c-channel to the inner from above and below?
That I do not know. Jeremiah told me that it was two piece, if he discussed anything else, I don't remember it unfortunately.
