    She's at the Walter Reed Medical Center and is going through Medical school right now. That's where they hold the school for all the branches.

    Yeah I'm pretty excited. I love Florida, but I'm just not a fan of the heat. I'd love some snowy winters!

    Yes. What we plan to do is have it bolt on to the back face over top of one of the supports internal to the bumper. Welding it to the top of the corner is no good. One of the weaker points of the bumper and when open, that is a huge moment arm which often causes the weld to crack. Plus, having it bolt to the face makes it better for us. Easier to run batches of bumpers and add it as an option.

    Well, we can't rate it legally since it cost $$$$$$$ to get it certified through DOT, but we can say it'll handle the same weight rating as the stock hitch. We are building it stronger than they're built from the factory. Our bumper uses heavier material, smarter design and reinforced in areas where the stock hitches are not.

    Thats awesome ive only seen one other company do it that way and i want to say it was body armor. I look forward to seeing the swing outs. Do you think you might end up selling individual side options. That way we could customize where we can have options?

    Yeah I suppose DOT wants to rape you on a certification. It dos look a hell of a lot stronger . I am liking what I see. Awesome design . Waiting to get my hands on one . :thumbsup:

    What do you mean individual side options?

    Yes, Body Armor does a similar design on their swing out.

    I looked in to it with the DOT, very involved and lots of money. You have to be a multi-million dollar company like ARB to justify becoming DOT certified.

    Basically you can swap the swing out mounts so instead of the tire swing out on the right you can put it on the left.

    Oh, haha. I assumed that is what you meant but didn't want to assume. Yes, we will have the option for you to pick the side you want it to pivot on.

    Side note, we are going to do everything we can to stock these, powder coated so we can offer fast shipment, 5 business days or less. Will only do this with certain options. We are trying to do that with all of our products but our popularity is hindering that on sliders for now. Everything else we stock and try to ship within 5 business days. Sliders we are getting closer to be able to do that but is tough since everyone wants something a little different. But we are working toward doing the same with sliders, certain configurations will be offered with fast shipment.
