Rear High Clearance Cut?

Anyone expanded on this idea yet?

I'm thinking about fabbing this up myself and possibly adding a swing out to the mix.

If not I'm going for the same thing + boxing in my cargo platform to slide the spare in (so it's safe to daily with the spare in the cargo area).

Found this on the local truck group few weeks back.

Glad this popped up. I'll be getting out the tube bender and making my own when I got some free time. My valance is half screwed anyways from a rock in Sand Hollow as well as the corner of the bumper. I'll get back with pics when I get to it, might be a few months since my priority welding and fabbing is on my Tacoma currently.

I've been throwing a similar idea around myself for a while here. First i was going to make a swing-out that attached to the hitch, and then duplicate the hitch so i could mount a bike rack, etc. but the more i thought the more bolting it to the frame points that the hitch uses makes sense. You could also incorporate some tubing or plates to protect the bumper areas similar to the first pic in this thread, either with or without cut-outs. I am going to grab some measurements over the holiday break while i'm installing my lift to see what can be done, and assuming things go well i'd like to fab something between xmas and new years.
