If anybody is interested in getting just the bumper, I'd love to go in with ya for the swing-outs... Or I've got a dual swing-out kaymar (just this week has been completely, professionally sand-blasted and powder-coated semi-gloss black today) I could throw in the mix as some sort of partial trade towards getting one of these...

Ferg, I had the same thought, but after a little closer look with the new pics (thanks ranma!), I'm not sure I'd bet that those swingouts fit on a Kaymar!
I'm going to try to get the bearing numbers from my one tire swing and see if they are a match. Then... can the swingouts be purchased separate? I think there's money to be had there if so.
For those who didn't click on the photolink, here's what the bumper looks like. I think it's great that there's another option out there for a rear bumper. This looks like something between a kaymar and a more hardcore rear bumper (hanna, slee, 4x4). The wing support definitely seems better than a kaymar (or even an IPOR, which to my understanding does not attach the wing back to the frame.)

Anymore interest in this ?
Yes. I am still interested. Not in a hurry but definitely looking for a fuel can carrier that fits two cans. Any updates on integrating the receiver hitch?
I purchased one of these bumpers from ranma21 about a month ago. I live in Illinois and took him up on his offer to deliver along I-35 since our paths were crossing about a week after I contacted him.
The install was a piece of cake. It took longer to remove the OEM pieces than install the new bumper. All holes lined up well and the only modifications needed were to grind the ends of the bracket as stated above.
Here are some pics of it on my rig.
Here is the ground clearance with the OEM setup:
And now with the new bumper:
Hopefully this will eliminate situations like this: :whoops:
The only "extras" I've added so far are a couple of grease zerks on the swingouts to make greasing the bearings less messy:
This isn't a rock crawler's dream bumper, but it is well made and seems like it will hold up well. The swingout latches are very sturdy and hold the carriers tight to the bumper with no room for rattles or squeaks.
I am thinking of adding some running/brake lights to it since it does cover the RH light assembly with the tire. Other than that the only thing I need to add is a recovery point at the factory hitch location, but the factory loops will do for now.

I am still trying to talk to him about the dual can carrier. I talked to them about it, and they would not do the integrated receiver hitch as the toyota center factory bumper mount is strong enough for that application, the rest of the world is using it just fine except US. You can always add the SLEE add on bracket to the frame if you think you need more strength.

Lim lives about 5 miles from me so I drove over Sunday afternoon to look at the bumper. Its definitely based on the Kaymar, though I think it might be built with a slightly thicker plate steel. The gusseting seems better than Kaymar. It also does not have that "lip": that curves back under on the bottom of the rear bumper edge. I hooked that a few times on rocks when I had mine. The finish is different, more like a Rhino-lining than paint. If it is powdercoating, its a unique application. Swing-outs and latches are very robust. It does not have the pass-through locking system for the spare that Kaymar charges $100 for either, so locking the wheel would need to be addressed. All in all, I think its a very good buy and more than ideal for expedition and most offroad uses.

Nice to meet you too Jim. I think the best way to lock the wheel on the rear carrier is to use the wheel lock, I bought a set from Toyota of dallas for about $30 I think.
Any updates on the availability of the dual fuel can carrier?
I wonder if an OEM rear receiver mount from the late 100 series would fit?

I think not. And you would have cut a square hole in the middle of the bumper to make it fit, I think that will compromise the strength of the mount once it is cut. Better stick with the oem one. The oem pintle hook looks like this:
PINTLE HOOKS FOR 4WDs
The oem towing capability of a hdj80 is 3500kg, 7000lbs, so it should be plenty strong for 5000 lbs rated here in us since we have gasser engine instead of diesel engine.
