Kaymar Bumper

Looks nice. How well do the bumper lights compensate for the blocked tail lights? Any concern over the partially blocked plate?

The license plate was covered much more, so I drilled new holes (in the plate) and moved it over to the right as much as I could. There is a plate holder accessory to mount it to the back of the tire. I'll be getting one of those soon. As for the lights, I think there is enough light visible that I won't have to worry about a ticket for it, however the reverse lights are seriously hindered. I would expect if you have two tires, an alternate backup light would be necessary.

Does the tailgate sit with that bumper & swingout installed? Looks great!

Yes, I can take a pic of the tailgate down, and swing out to the side if you like. As others have noted in the past, the worse part of having the swing-out is that you have to move it out of the way, even to just open the top hatch.

That is a great looking bumper man. Wow!

Thanks.. I knew it must look good, because my wife hates it. The reactions I get from driving/parking lots is proportionate to my wife reaction to the mods I do.

Also, I mounted the drivers side Labrak antenna mount... next up is to mount a firestik.

Kaymar's are pretty rare. Here's a pic of mine (painted w/ matching urethane), checkerplate is hard-anodized, still holding after 7 years.

Looking good.. so what was the final ruling, did you have to remove the powder coat to get the bearings on the spindle? just curious...

And I love the Kaymar personally, it's a great bumper and I used the heck out of the one I put on my 80 years back, held up great to the occasional ledge, couldn't beat it for everything else, best swing-out latch system available, IMO. If they weren't so expensive now, I'd have gotten another one but alas went ARB instead.

Nope, worked like a champ as soon as I put it down.
