Todd, has there been any recent development with this situation?

I'm not really interested in any tire carrier, a intergrated hitch or shackle points would be nice though(I can use it for towing, or any minor offroading I would do now, than transfer it to my next X when I get a 4x4), but I'm definitely interested in getting the extra protection a steel bumper would give me..

If there's any update, I'd appreciate it.. Thanks..
