Thanks for starting this thread! I am waiting on my bumper to ship as well.

Thanks!

--Were you able to fit all the parts in the back of the 4runner?
I am thinking of how to bring it back home from the powder coating company.

Pros: I really like how it looks and everything it holds on the configuration I have now. Having all the accessories be modular/remove when not needed is great (might go back to just the tire in a few weeks). Customer service was excellent – I had the locking brackets switched around on install. When I parked on an incline, they flew open and broke the brackets. C4 had replacements sent out that day and arrived the next day. It's solid, can't see it failing me anytime soon.
Neutral: Being so solid, it's heavy, so best have some heavy springs to hold all the weight with the accessories/tire/etc. It comes bare steel, which was a hassle getting someone to powder coat/delivery/etc. but I powder coated black and fine texture to match the ARB summit front bumper. Lead time was almost 3 months, but it was right in the middle of their warehouse move which added a few more weeks (I wasn't ready to install anyways).
Cons: It took awhile to get used to the dual-swing arms – it certainly increases the time it takes to get into the back, which I'm using all the time to get a large dog in and out. The locking mechanism gets jammed/stuck sometimes, so takes a little longer sometimes to secure it down.
