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

camojeeper · Mar 12, 2023

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

You briefly mentioned one of the best attributes of this bumper and that is the design of the recovery points. Nearly all aftermarket bumpers have the recovery points welded to the bumper which is no bueno. The few that do offer pass-through recovery points only attach to the cross-member of the frame. SRQ has the pass-through recovery points bolted to and around the longitudinal-member of the frame.

exactly what I was looking for! I had a similar version on my FJ40 and it was awesome to secure jerry cans, high lift and a tire.

Any negatives for hanging a tire offset? A lot of tired FJ40s always seemed to have a gangster lean to the side the spare was hanging from, mine included till I got new springs.

That's an awesome bumper for sure.

Love it! I'm at 2 months since order - really looking forward to getting it. I only got the spare swing out.

It’s been on about a month now no negative’s as of yet

Nice. I like it. Thanks for posting.

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.

Wonder how this vs the JCR kit is?

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.

Is that a CB or a GMRS antenna? If GMRS, what is the brand?

the JCR load path from swingout to bumper is much weaker than SRQ

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.

Awesomesauce right there! SRQ is a top runner for me, too. Even more now! Thanks for sharing. I looks amazing!

I love mine and it was well worth the wait.

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