I really think I should buy. There is a option coming out to add a swing out correct? I'm pretty sure that's what I read.

Yes - well, the hinge assembly - I'm going to offer that so folks can make their own swingouts.

First 10 are spoken for, yep. Starting the list for the next run.

I’ve started the manufacturing run, but I’ve actually still got a couple of pre-order slots open.

Right on! Thanks for the update, hopefully I can swing it because having done the swap butchered me.

Much more difficult to dimple die something after its all been bent, won't be able to stick it into the press.

I figured I would contribute to this thread now that I've actually kicked my ass into high gear.
BIG fan of the dimples and it WAS a PITA.


I think this turned out looking pretty alright. Making sure to weld everything I could before welding on the wings helped in the process. One regret was not welding more of the wing with it bolted up to the truck. Fitment is pretty tight

 

[eimkeith]

well, y'all, looks like I *might* have the swingout hinge proven out completely before the end of 2021. (I know, I know.)

:blush:

Fuck yes! Looks great

Fuck yes! Looks great

thanks! I'm not into swingouts, personally, so it's been a struggle to make something I'm excited about. Fingers-crossed that this is a solution to the typical industry problems with these hinge assemblies!

Well I'm still in need. And I'm into swingouts. Can't fit my spare in the back with the dogs. So I'm excited.

 

[eimkeith]

well, great!
