I like that rear bumper too. All you need is some 2x2 square tubing and with a little cutting and welding you could build a swing-out. Looks like it was set up with a swing-out at one time. Scott and I built this bumper for my XJ and it turned out really good.

Great bumper.  Nice looking latch setup.  Well done!
