It does look beefy.
What is the weight of this bumper cover with all the arms attached... also. why leave it hanging low in the corners when that can be tucked up quite a bit.
Any plans for aluminum version?

Having the gas cans fully enclosed with only a top lid for access is a bad idea. Not sure if these are compatible with only the NATO metal cans but Sceptre MFCs bulge a bit under temp or elevation. With the lid like that it doesn’t allow the user to vent the can in the holder. Also having the lid on top only is going to make it difficult to take a full can out because it needs to be pulled straight out under expansion.
Other than that minor gripe, good job Pelfreybilt! Bumper looks great!

You can just burp the can. But I’ve also suggested the cans swing up from the back so that the top and front are one piece.

No plans for aluminum. Weight is 200lbs with the arms. But we will know an exact number soon.

That will be key. Because if the MFC is expanded enough to bulge you won’t be able to get the cap off by hand. And looking at the pics it appears there’s no way to vent with a wrench. Just a suggestion so we can avoid a completely stuck can in the holder.

The carrier swings down from the bottom. Will post a photo when I’m not on my phone. But this won’t be an issue.

You're absolutely right, and remember that outside of the prototypes in progress I was going by the CAD drawings. Those drawings are over a year old, which gives an idea of how long this thing has been in progress (2 friggin years!)
Anyways based on the CAD it clearly looks like the top opens. And as a result to your point I hit up Tyler, who sent back the following photo. It opens from the bottom, so removal should be easy if you need to get the SCEPTER wrench on it, and the sides are built to allow for some flex so it doesn't bind up completely.
Hope that helps with some questions:
