I don't know if doing this has compromised any sort of structural integrity of the sleeve to the weight of the swing out. I emailed Victory 4x4 yesterday after business hours so I'm guessing I won't hear back until next week. Below is a picture of before grinding and after grinding.

Correct, the structural integrity won't be affected there. The spindle is welded at the top and bottom to the bracing inside the bumper.

I've been emailing with Mitchell and offered up my camera as a template since I already pulled it off and its setting in a box. Expecting to hear something back on Monday.

If I get a bumper with tire carrier, I'm not going to move the backup camera.
This is the first vehicle I've owned with one and for me it's a novelty.
Mirrors have been sufficient for me for 45 years of driving.
Had a camper on my pickup for 30 years so no inner middle mirrors. Just the doors.
Also, I'm an OTR truck driver so I'm used to mirrors.

I figured that's the easiest and cheapest method. When I noticed the mount was wrong i said to myself, "I'll just jump on the Toyota Parts page that has discount OEM parts and buy the later model camera that fits the mount".
Then I saw the price tag between $480 and $800. 
So I decided if I offer it up maybe they will go ahead and make a different mounting plate saving me from buying a new camera....Or doing without.

Silly question. My son chipped some of the powder coat on the bumper. How should I tackle repairing it? Sand it, wash it, prep it? Then cover with rust resistant paint?

Yes! Rustoleum Textured Black paint matches the powder coat very closely. Just clean and touch up the affected area.

I was able to mount the mud flaps using three of the original 10mm bolts and locations. I then used zip ties to further secure the other two holes. I haven’t driven with them yet so we will see how it holds up. (Don’t mind the ugliness of the trim. I’ll be fixing it)

They sent me a prepaid label to ship back last week. I put it in the mail Tuesday. Package was delivered to Victory with my camera and the inner camera mount from Victory on Friday.

A new camera mount will ship out today or tomorrow! Thank you for your help! From now on, the camera relocation will come with both styles of the bracket. We will also ship them to those that already ordered and need the older style.

Is that an overlay of new vs old mount pattern or a multi mount pattern?

That is just the mount for the older camera style. It keys right in, so each will get their own mount.
