The group buy has been closed but you may want to reach out to SSO whether they are still making these bumpers. Last I heard they were not offering the bumper anymore due to the amount of time and resources it takes to make them. Hopefully this helps.

Thx brotha :caked:
this is correct. I recently spoke to a rep and was told they ave stopped taking orders to catch up on current orders. I believe they will continue to offer it, not sure when they will resume taking orders but i was told to keep checking their website and until it shows pricing for the Rear Bumper, it will not be available.
Anyone know of any other companies that produce a full replacement rear bumper? one that does not require cutting of oem bumper.

How stable is that for your 4 gallon Rotopax? I haven't bought Rotopax yet, but want to go with two 4 gallon ones, and I think that'll definitely require the two mounts for it. I was thinking of buying that universal mount, and mounting it to the SSS portion some how.Just wrapped up our installation last night:

I think the SSO swing away could handle the dual 4 gallon units with the single doublestack clamp. Don't really think you'll gain much by going to the universal support since your weakest points are the hinges and latch pin. There is enough backing on the swing away that it snugs up nice and tight so there's no wiggle.

That same ladder carries the Jerry Cans mounts which hold 2 cans. If filled with gas, that would be around 70lbs (10 gallons/gas). Swing arm has double shear on it as well.

[MENTION=142941]LifestyleOverland[/MENTION] I was more concerned about the actual Rotopax mount that bolts to the SSS ladder. I have no doubt the SSS stuff can handle it. On Rotopax's website they say they recommend two of their mounts for the four gallon cans for stability.

Ah, gotcha. I have two 4 gallon rotopax hanging off the back of my Turtleback, each on their own single center mount on 1/4' cantilevered steel. If they were going to fall off... they would have done so a long time ago because the rear of the trailer gets rocked hard.
IMO, I think they will be fine because there's so much backing to keep them stable on the SSO mount.

What is that trailer? Looks like the perfect camping trailer.

I love the trailer. Can I ask what you paid for it?? I'm looking at trailers and trying to feel out options.

Question on fitment
Hey guys, Can anyone who installed their bumper already shoot me a photo of how their bumper integrates with their rear wheel well?
I feel like it shouldn't be this close to the steel on the body, but for the life of me I couldn't get it to sit where I expected it.
Thanks in advance.

That looks just about right. I ordered some new mud flaps to help fill the gap and keep mud from packing in the area.
