    I just welded up my Relentless bumper and getting ready to build a swingout, looking for some inspiration. I ordered a hinge and latch kit from 4xInnovations that should be in very soon.

    My ideas are spare on one side, 2 rotopax on the other. Fold down table on the backside of it all. AUX lighting for cooking and stuff at night.

    Let see em!

    My advice is, the instructions suck lol.

    What took me the most time was figuring out where 4 pieces went. The 'L' shaped pieces and parts with that. They were the end caps. Aside from that it went smoothly. Your factory license plate lights can be tricky to get to snap in, but they will go, and I used the factory plastic clip that those lights screw into on the backside with a little force.

    Haha. Yeah i just built a front bumper from them... Instructions sucked for that one also. I called and asked them to at least put numbers on the pieces indicating which pieces to weld on first. Also found this out after the fact... they said that the corners of the pieces line up to create a "V" for the welds....

    What would you recommend welding on first to get the best fit for the rear?

    Hell I just kinda started from the bottom and worked my way up. Kinda hard to get it wrong. The main center sections is already done, basically just adding the outside parts.

    Its looking good:thumbsup: I'm moving up to 37" tires, just don't think full size spare will work on bumper setup. I'm probably going to mount it in the bed.

    Yeah that might be a bit much for a tire carrier. I'm sure it can be done, just gonna take a lot of bracing.

    Nope, they have a rise too. That's why I had to build my own bed rack.
