Installed SRQ FABRICATION rear bumper with swing outs -- review and photos

[Yamapro]

This is kind of what I was looking to do. That AAL tire rack, what do you usually place on it? I put the 95L ROAM container, but I know it's putting way too much weight on the hinges, even with Rough Country's reinforcement.

I usually throw our folding chairs up there. That way they aren’t taking up space in the truck. I also have kept some recovery gear on it.

I love it. I was just talking to someone lst weekend about a bumper with a swing out that does not attach to the tailgate at all.

What lift or different springs do you guys have? I don't see any substantial sag.

That wheel looks heavy. How is it getting that wheel and tire up onto the carrier?

not sure about that since the wheels were installed 1 day before the bumper was and SRQ installed the bumper as part of the first group buy they did locally. The black rhino wheel’s definitely weigh more than the factory black diamond painted wheels that came from the factory. Nothing a bear hug and putting some ass into won’t solve. I’m guessing the wheel and tire combo weighs 85-90lbs give or take.

Well after almost 4 months of waiting I got my new rear bumper. I looked far and wide for a rear bumper with a decent swing out to carry that 37"M/T. Gotta get that tire off the body just ask any bronco owner about the old swingouts. Almost every one I looked at had a frame to body connection (that's a no no) So I found SRQ and they had what I was looking for. A nice swing out and even an option of the duel swing outs with jerry can rack and small table inside. They even build the bumper in a modular design so you can build as money allows.

It didn't me take long to figure how to mount my 60" Hi lift on it.

So far I have not relocated the Camera because I cant figure out how the remove it from the stock mount? Anyone have any ideas?

I really like the locks that lock the swing outs in the open position they also lock closed
features of their bumper are:

LEFT SIDE
jerry (NATO) can mount I did a 20L fuel and a 20L H20
small fold down table .
plenty of room for other goodies

RIGHT SIDE
Big heavy duty very adjustable tire carrier
provisions for the 3rd B light

BUMPER
factory integrated led back up lights
Relocated Camera to bottom center above the hitch
Nice heavy D ring mounts
Sensor holes pre drilled

Looks great! But am I correct in assuming you have to swing the tire and the jerry can out of the way to open the tailgate?

That's not too bad

Yes.

Bumper looks great for off roading, getting everything off the tailgate is key. How is the everyday use? It has to be such a pain to load stuff in the back.

Not really it’s another 30seconds to open.

3” over SAS on 37’s for me.
perch collars With stock springs

Yes they both have to open. After a few days it’s another 30 seconds or so to open

Do they offer an antenna mount with the system or is that on your own? I have two antennas that will need to be on the back. I suppose I can mount to the spare tire delete if there is room.

How complete are the instructions for bumper/gate installation and camera/3rd brake light relocation?

Had mine on a while and it’s pretty solid. I would have preferred the body be a more substantial metal instead of a basic skin to cover the brackets.

Do you feel it's strong enough? How does it compare to the original bumper? I easily cut out the holes for my flush mount lights with a jig saw in the stock bumper and was surprised how lightweight it was.

Easily adaptable

I do not, I was driving Hell’s Revenge yesterday and the bumper gave me numerous issues. This is my first time back in Moab since I installed it and I’m not happy.

RTR's instructions for their spare tire mount address the camera.

I have the same setup and love it but really need to do some kind of upgrade to support the weight.
