Woohoo, I finally get to post in this thread as an owner lol.
I picked up my bumper from FedEx and dropped it at the powder coater... there is a lot of parts to it. But for the record it will all fit then the back of the 4runner if you take it off the pallet.

On the first page of the post it lists the weight of the bumper as 170 and swing arm as 80. Since then a dual swing out was made available, however I was told by Caleb the weight was the same at 250#
Was the exhaust notably louder with the tip cut off?

No cutting the back of the exhaust off will not make any difference to the sound because that is after the muffler

Are you concerned you'll smash the exhaust coming off a rock? I have mine cut off also and just put an angle on it so it ends up just inside the bumper and slightly below

your exhaust tip placement is exactly where i hit, scratched up, and dented my oem bumper during offroading. that is the reason why i decided to buy this C4 rear bumper.

I am preparing for install and considering what I'm going to do with the exhaust.
Do you have any concerns with exhaust fumes coming into the cabin with it exiting under the vehicle?

I have had my exhaust cut back for about 3 years. The exhaust smell into the cabin was slightly improved from stock with it cut back about a foot. I ended up cutting it to there when I kept dragging the exhaust and was damaging the stock bumper. After installing my rear bumper I cut it back to the location indicated in the C4 install video. I had it like that for a couple weeks and honestly didn't smell it at all there. Even though it's winter I open my rear window a lot for my dogs even when it's cold. Since then I had a muffler shop put a 90 on it and aim it towards the side of the truck just behind the rear wheel but not coming out past the bumper. That location seems to be good too. So far no exhaust in the cabin.
My truck is filthy and it's 15 degrees, as soon as I can give her a bath and it's a bit warmer I'll snap a picture

So getting ready for install...
Where have you guys been splicing for camera and license plate light relocation?
I may have to do a 2 part install since I didn’t get the second latch with my shipment. I haven’t laid everything else out yet but hoping that’s the only thing. Should have gone through the bags while stuff was at powder coat instead of the day of install. [MENTION=131444]C4 Fabrication[/MENTION]

For license plate light I tapped into the hitch wiring. I think its the Green and White wire...just look at the diagram on the hitch plug.
The camera is just splicing in the wiring extension. There's a good write up on SSO's website, but stay tuned...it looked like Caleb was working on an install video this week for the camera.

If Caleb is the person in the bumper install video, he’s a beast. It took me at least 20 hits to bend the hoops from the spare down he did it in 5. I made a mess of the sheet metal trying to bend that down...[emoji45][emoji45] I gotta figure out something to make that look a little better.
I’m not sure I like seeing the dirty white behind cut outs and I’m considering pulling the bumper off and painting behind it black. An aluminum plate behind them would look good too but I don’t want to deal with that at this point.

What were your measurements at the top and at the bottom did you place them exactly where Baja rack recommended at 2” top and 2 3/8 at the bottom? Thanks!

Its been awhile but yea I think i followed their directions on placement, but there is some play there so you can adjust it a bit, as long as your able to tighten the bottom up.
