thank you, I will look for the thread.
And the cool part is the hinges bolt the tailgate first, then accessories bolt to the hinge itself.Anytime! Here is the difference in OEM hinges versus Raptor hinges for comparison...

you do realize that a week or so ago @IAG Performance said this would be delayed due to the work on the dome light project, right?

This bumper looks really nice and appreciate the review, but holy cow she ain't cheap for sure. I noticed yesterday thath there is a slight misalignment of my tailgate at the bottom on the left/hadle side. It is just shy of 1/4". I never noticed this before and need to see if the tire is causing the misalignment. Defintiely want to check out your post RE: Raptor hinges.
Absolutely not cheap... But about 5 to $600 cheaper than from the manufacturer. I have the bumper and it is way better than the stock steel bumper...better departure angle, stronger, etc. The cool part about the bumper plus the swing out carrier is that the carrier articulates with the tailgate unlike many of the other products where you have to open several latches to get inside the car. The bummer is that whatever you go with the hangs weight off the tailgate, Even with stronger hinges, it still ends up putting all that weight on the pillar. Having had several plates I still believe the Raptor hinges and the hammer built is the best of the bunch... but if you're going to be hanging a lot of weight off then a swing out carrier hands down beats anything hanging off the gate.

You have the bumper/tire carrier AND the raptor hinges with HB bracket? That’s a beefy setup! Pics please.
I have the bumper and the carrier should be arriving at the end of this month. When I got the bumper last year, the carrier was not yet a thing for the Bronco...but fortunately the company made it backwards compatible, so they will send a template and I need to cut a hole for the spindle. I figured I'd keep the hinges on (currently with my HB plate) because replacing them requires having them both aligned with one another (or else they will bind). Fortunately I made a plate to keep mine in alignment, so if I have too I can switch back to OEM (when I had the RTR carrier I had to pull the taillight in order to make more adjustments that I couldn't compensate for by using only the bolts on the gate). I can post pics as soon as I receive/install the carrier.
