I know this is an old thread but are there any 100 series rear bumpers like this with the side "wings" ? I really like the look of this on an 80 how do you think it would look on the 100 and how functional would it be? I'm guessing that Slees rear could be modified to have these but wasn't sure since it doesn't have the lip that sicks out from the body.

The Bump It Off Road High Clearance Rear Bumper that they're having the group buy for looks similar to that.

This is a concept we are working on. The Rotopax lends itself to different mounting and also for a narrower profile so that it does not hit the truck when opening. Also allows for stacked cans with nearly the same capacity of 3 jerry cans, but does not cover the lights.

Two questions, if anyone knows the answer?

1. I'm assuming this revision of the ladder will fit on the '06-'07 trucks with the 'whale tail' spoiler?

2. Any progress on the RotoPax mount?
 
Shorter ladder fits the whale tail. We are still working on the rotopax mount. I have finally found a source for the latches I want to use, now i just have to get them here from around the world.

I just got my bumper in today with ladder and tire swing out carrier.
It's at the body shop in for some paint now, but all I can say is WOW.
When unwrapping the packaging and getting a look at the welds and craftsmanship, both the body shop guy and I were blown away at the quality of work and material put forth.

Can't wait to get it mounted next week!
 
Yep, I am also glad that I went with Slee. I considered others, and a custom build offer, but Slee's work is outstanding. Worth the extra cost.
 
Yeah I just got mine in Wednesday, put the bumper on same night and then tire carrier today. I had to go to a machine shop to get the bearing seal in and the guy there loved the bumper, completely amazed at how solid it is...what an awesome piece of metal...

Since I've already bothered the guys at Slee enough...has anyone had the problem with the bottom of their hi-jack slipping out of the saddle and toward the tire-arm hub when they tighten the barrel bolt to secure the jack?

Are you trying to run the Slee bolt through the section of the Hi-Lift with holes in it? If so, that is incorrect. The jack mounting bolt goes in between the main jack frame and the jack handle. Usually, when people report that the base is misaligned, it is because of the issue I just described.

Here is mine for comparison. Note that with the single swing-arm tire carrier, the jack mounts facing in the opposite direction as with the dual swing-arm.

Thanks PFran, you have the single arm right? Thats how I mounted mine with the bolt between the two pieces like in your picture but the pole on the other side per the instructions. When I tighten that bolt down the clockwise motion pushes the base out of its saddle about half way...
 
Coming out of paint today.

That paint really turned out great. I bet you can't wait to see it on. I know I want to see it!
