    Yep I thought it was a pretty good deal. It's 3/16" steel. Most angles are bent on a brake, even the sides with slight bends to fit into the flares. The pivot is super strong. 1-1/4" solid that goes down into the bumper and braced inside. Two roller bearings as in like wheel bearings with a 1" castle nut w/ cotter pin and then a cap. They have these on emsoffroad.com if you wanted to do your own and it shows the specs. It is rated at 1000lb should never be a problem. It is super solid. The mount plates that mount to the sub frame are drilled through at some existing holes and bolted with grade 8 - 3/4" bolts. The mount plate then is bolted to the bumper and then I welded it also. I will get some pictures of the mounting and of how I cut it down some.

    Oh forgot, I may add a pull down tension type latch for the tire rack. emsoffroad.com has these also, $40.00 mine has a 1/2"dia. L Spring loaded bolt type. It stays in place but can make a squeaky noise on some dirt roads. The tension type keeps it pulled down tight. A friend of mine has one on a Landcruiser.
