my turn!! . I got a visit from DHL courtesy of CBIfab
Tuesday a bright yellow truck pulled up, and as I have been conditioned likes Pavlov's (SP?) dogs.... I began to drool profusly... low and behold there's a 100lb chunk of steel left on my door step!
rattle canned and installed
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...4/f3c02e91.jpg
1/2" thick mounting plates and heavy duty hardware, side support
spare carrier with plate & hi-lift bracket
Steve at CBIfab was very quick in the turn around time (told me 4 to 5 weeks, took 3) quality product. and was a complete bolt on with perfect fit, no bending, grinding or drilling required. just paint and bolt in.
And I opted for a removable spare carrier. I can tuck my 33 under there still, off road I want the clearance of it being high.. Plus the benifit of the hi lift mount!

Damn it. Now I want a visit from someone. Oh well - should be getting a visit soon with a high end immobilizer, although I'm sure you guys won't care for pics of some wires, a transponder, an LED light, and a box.

No labor needed to install it. once I had it painted it took less than 30 minutes to put it on by myself.. 12 bolts for the bumper. the carrier a little longer.

Just out of curiousity - he welded a hitch right into that bumper by the looks of it - what capacity does that hitch have? Would it be similar to a class 2 (3500 pounds?).

You already got the receiver welded on to your bumper, why not put the rest so you can make a legal claim about your bumpers towing capacity and thus a selling point (at least an option anyways)?
Getting a rating would be a great selling point
but from what I understand it is too costly and time consuming for us to pursue at this point in the game 
Here's a pic of one of our bumpers integrated into the class III rec. hitch......when a guy has to have the rating
