@tpizza01 I'd like to weld up a rear bumper this winter when I get some time, so I'm at the gathering ideas stage. Would you mind telling me, what is the peg diameter on your rear bumper? Those things look stout! And then once you slide the swing- outs onto the pegs, what is the method of keeping them there so someone can't lift them off?

Sorry, Schmutz! Just now seeing this!!!

Those pegs are definitely stout! I honestly do not know the diameter, but Iron Pig Off Road can probably answer that question, you can find them online. AS far as the swingout staying put - I don't have that yet so I don't know but I am sure it is locked on there with some kind of locking collar or top for it. If not then I would imagine the fact that the arm latches in to the bumper, that it too would be a deterrent, not to mention that it weighs a bit.
 
Forgot to add some of the work done on here. Put in both front and rear panhards. Ironman 4x4. Don't mind the rust in the rear, I'm working on it little by little, and it's been a salty couple of winters ...

Just got the left side swingout last week from @IPOR - I love it and will be getting the other side as soon as I can. Need to decide if I want the ladder or the bike rack - even though I can swap them back and forth. Spare will be on soon, just ordered new wheels and they should be here this week: Level 8 Trackers ... stay tuned ...

Been a long time since I've been on here - looks like almost two years! Got married in that time, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Not much done to the truck, but seeing as how the last post was the wheels I will post a picture.
