Can the swing outs be locked in place open or removed with "ease" so it could still be used with the tailgate down? Perhaps the people that are in the market for this aren't also the types that would continue to use the truck bed for hauling things that require the tailgate to be down. Sorry if this was already asked.

Check out the videos for Victory 4x4. It's their non-Jeep half of the company and they have some extremely thorough videos as to how the system works on a 4Runner. Same idea here.

Basically there's a plate that allows it to be locked out at 90 degrees so you can access the back.

@JcrOffroad Any chance you have a weight of the bumper itself?
Not yet, but we will post it on the product page when it goes live.

They can be locked open, but driving that way would put quite a load on the spindles and bumper. We don't recommend driving with the carriers open.

That should give me some time to line up a buyer for this extra kidney.

Any chance there's enough plate on the side that one could weld up some higher bars to give a little side/tail protection?

Wondering if one wants to have both sides as jerry can carriers, does the camera need to be relocated?

OK, here is the low down on release. We have a pretty big backlog right now because of the shutdown, as well as a large order volume (not complaining!) But we really want to get this released to those that are interested.

We've created a signup form for more info on our site. Next week we'll start releasing photos, videos, and content to that mailing list. We'll also email the launch and order details sometime next week. Trying to keep it a somewhat limited release at first so we don't just crush an already crushed fabrication team with orders ;)

Sign up here (no obligations:) jcr.us/jtrear

We are also trying to come up with a trinket or sticker for those of you on the list that order. Stay tuned for that :rock:
