    The hybrid rear may be a ways down the line. If we do end up designing one, it really wouldn't be possible to make it with swing arms. The swing arm pivot points need a strong location at the outer corners of the bumper to attach to. If we did a hybrid rear bumper, the outer corners of the bumper would remain the same as they are from the factory.

    Ha. You're funny. Guy that wants to buy stuff overseas rather then paying more to keep American workers employed, right. I feel that even if a product was double the cost, atleast it keeps our guys employed, food on their tables, etc. I don't care if the post was 10 years ago. When you get the chance, buy American my friend.

    We have slightly changed the style of the fairlead opening and it is now setup the same as our 4runner Lo-Pro. It now looks like this. the dimensions of the opening are 12.5" wide and 5" tall.

    Other than just asking around at fab shops near me, are there other ways of getting it powder coated? I don't have faith in many of the places around here.

    I suppose I could try my hand at painting it too...

    Sorry we just do not offer powder coat at this time. Its not cost effective for us or our customers since we do not have a powder coat shop close to us that can do the work for a reasonable price. Eventually we would like to offer the option, but it will be a while.

    Rustoleum may hold up better than powder coating and easier to touch up.
