You bet! What would you like to know? My friend was the brains behind the operation.
The plan was to cut into the plastic on the rear bumper but to keep it cleaner, he found that he could build two mounts, one on each side, of my existing trailer hitch. We came up perfectly flush with the bumper to take into consideration the back curve of the rear of the body of the Cruiser. It worked out perfectly smooth and allowed for the tire, ladder, fuel/water cans, and my hi-lift. He did all of the metal cutting and welding himself.

Looks very cool. I wonder if he would be interested in making a kit. Did he weld anything to the actual LC? How is it supported on the inside of the bumper? Feels sturdy enough with all of the weight?
Broke in the new KO2s up near Palm Springs
Found out why my tear locker didn't work anymore. Cleaned up nice just need to reglue the magnets to the armature cover.
@savirc .... How was Big Bend overall? I'm headed out there the 15th-18th of this month. Was it super muddy? Never been in the Fall and concerned it might be too wet. In February we camped at Talley2 which is just West of the Mariscol mine off River Road East. We are planning on doing Old Ore Road this time and also go up to Terlingua Ranch and drive the Christmas Mountain trail.
Crossed over 200k while on gravel roads out in Llano County.
It was awesome as always. Big Bend never disapoints it was not too muddy we we're in some river trails. I was surprised that there was no campsites even out in the middle of no where, we got lucky and got a spot at gravel springs. The night sky view and Santa Elena canyon are worth the visit alone. Last time I was here I was amazed at the night sky and it was the first time I saw the milky way. The desolate non pulluted night sky let's you see the stars in their full grace. Mars is easily seen as well as some others.
This is some wickedly cool innovation. Kudos to your friend! And for you for getting to have it.
Replaced two 02 Sensors and cleared the p0420 code. Hopefully this is the fix and I won't need a new Cat.
Changed oil to Mobil 1 while I was at it

What was the motivation? You've got the skill, why not just fab an entire bumper?
Weight, aesthetic appeal, cool, creative, different than everything else... and just fun to build something
I really like the lines and looks of everything factory. With front though I’m probably gonna go with the classic ARB combo.
It bolts on to my existing trailer hitch. No welds required to the LC. That way if I ever get another 100, I could move it over. I’ll talk to him and see if he wants to do more and put together a kit. It’s a hobby for him.
It’s super sturdy. I weigh 220 and climbed up the ladder. It’s solid!

My bumper didn't need any welding to the frame and it bolts where the trailer hitch bolts. Seems like the same thing with extra steps. If it works for you, it's all that matters
@LCBlackBeauty would this only work on the OEM trailer hitch or anyone?
OEM. Drilled holes into it on each side and went from there. I’m sure it can be done with any kind
