    Thanks a lot!

    Billy said he only ships bare metal. In the past he had primered some AFAIK.

    The Toyota factory radiator bushings are very poor quality. I ran the ES universal bushings that @jrzyshore linked to for over a year in my truck and they definitely make a huge improvement in how the front end feels. I strongly recommend them. :)

    Hey guys

    Been looking at these because the design of these rear bumpers is great, and I definitely need a receiver for towing, with recovery point a bonus, but the latter is probably not a big deal because it has two other shackle hardpoints provided by this design.

    QUESTION:

    Where in the hell is the hole for the receiver pin?!?!? Can someone take a pic for me? Typical SOP for me is pulling an on-road trailer to camp, then pulling the ball hitch mount and installing the shackle mount in the receiver. But it looks like it would be a huge PITA to even access the pin, especially with an "oversize" spare (32 Cooper) under there, and especially if the tube is recessed even higher above that spare.

    Anyone have pics of the receiver pin installed? Or can someone please take one for me?

    Just ordered the front and rear BF bumpers.
    A few questions.
    What size Rotopax's are those? Can you do me a huge favor and show a pic of your rear HC Bumper directly behind the bumper? I'm trying to what the clearances are to the left and right of the Rotopax's. What size tire is mounted on the swingout?
    Also, is here anywhere a Hi-Lift Jack can be mounted?
