    I want a swinging arm bumper. There are a lot of options out there for tacos. If you have a swinging arm bumper, please post your pics, the manufacturer, the accessories you choose (fold-out table, water/gas can holder), what you paid, and why you choose that specific bumper.

    Its a bumper with that has a swinging arm that latches behind the tailgate. Common on overlanding rigs. Typically, these function as tire holders, gas/propane/water holders, cooler holders, rescue gear holders, and some times people get them with foldout camp tables too. These are primarily a custom item. There are lots of companies that make them. They look like this:

    And this

    and this

    I want to get a sense for who got what and why. Different setups have different benefits. I figure, if I hear a bunch of people talk about it, I'll get a clearer sense of their utility and make the best decision.... these things are pricey.

    Just saw this one today, don't know what brand or if it's custom but I like the bike rack on the swing arm.

    Does anyone know who makes these with a cooler option? And what dimensions are possible for the cooler?
