    Yup, exactly. Haven't decided yet on whether I wanna do propane, gas cans, or see if I can squeeze both onto there somehow lol. fold down camp table attached to the inside of it.

    I go back and forth between the double and single. Besides saving money I like the larger table on the singles but may have buyers remorse not going double

    I went double for practical purposes. You can't open your tailgate without the swingout open, and I figure in the rare occasion that I'm parked in a tight spot, it'll be easier with the shorter swingouts vs the one long swingout

    Also, a nice little bonus I didn't even think about, with the dual swingouts, my factory backup camera location, while slightly hindered, still has a decent view of the rear. with the single swingout and camp table, it would 100% be blocked entirely.

    I also like the idea of less weight on each swingout arm/bearing as well to prevent any sort of distortion over time or anything. though that's probably a non-issue and my own paranoia.

    I have the HC rear bumper and would like to add the dual swing outs. Does Billy sell a kit with the latches, spindles, etc. so I can add these

    I emailed him months ago and got no response. I asked if just a swing out could be done.

    LOL. Nope, don't think so. I already have a Brute Force Fab HC Rear bumper with swingout. I was just hoping to find that piece from the pic so I could take off my swingout, and install that in place.

    But thanks for taking the time to respond.

    I have seen that and am going to measure and see if it will fit the space in the corners.
    Then fab up 2 swing gates/doors etc

    really want to purchase from billy since I have the HC bumper and just need the swing arms and hardware.

    Just got off the phone with billy. He said the way they make their rear bumpers with the swing outs require the spindle to be welded first. And to try and add that after the fact would be impossible as your not able to get up underneath and weld the spindle to the level required.

    he advised selling the bumper and ordering a new one with the swing outs. Or looking into the kit like above that may allow one to retro fit swing outs

    I kind of figured. The guy I got it from bought a swing out new and sold me this one. I could fab something up but didn't want a Frankenstein rear bumper. But I really don't want to buy another LOL I guess I'll have to have a beer and think about it some more. Thanks for getting ahold of Billy.

    Be Safe...

    10-4. I didn't want to blow his phone up, because it hasn't been a pressing issue, but I'll be a bit more persistent.

    Billy is not on TW anymore. His prices are already the cheapest probably. There is no TW discount. I'd just call him.

    Would anyone know the size of the light bar that can fit into the 12-15 Tacoma Hybrid Bumper?

    Thanks for the link! Here's another I found that I think is a little closer. Haven't purchased yet, but I'm thinking about it. Just need to decide if I want the entire setup, or just the main tube you'd weld your actual swingout to. They have that as well on ebay for $50. But it might be nice to have all the new bearings, cap, etc.
