They come off. Jason, my installer, use to work for Pelfrey.

 

Thanks ! This helps.

 

No problem. I would highly suggest you paint because it's going to rust. And after it does, you'll spend hours grinding it off.

 

Yes its getting painted just test fitting today! Thanks for you input really helps!

 

Did you get the fender supports with the bumper purchase?

 

Yes I have them.

 

Any more pics of that swing out?

 

What does that part look like?

 

I will try to get a pic of those supports today. On 1 end it looks like duck feet.

 

Photos of my swingout?

 

Not that you can do anything about it but that swing out looks waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too close to the tailgate. Be mindful of that because they do move and flex when wheeling. Not sure if it is enough to contact the tailgate skin but it sure does look like it.

 

Thanks!

How and how much would you recommend offsetting it so it doesn't contact?

I have the second gen Pelfrey HC and a hinge and latch from 4xInnovations.

 

I wouldn't go any closer than the nearest contact point being 1".

 

Thanks, Joe

 

yeah I was going to say that's a really janky solution for a simple latch for that swing out.

 

Yeah that was an oversight

Yeah it is pretty close about 2 1/2 " away. We kinda missed thinking about that gap.Thanks for the heads up.

 

We are still working on the latch setup. Whats pictured is not the final latch setup.

 

Best i can do its starting to rain. Hope it helps.
