Okay, so here is a pic of the bumper mounting to the frame, as well as a shot looking backwards at the trailer hitch. Sorry there aren't more, it was cold and my gf & I were on our way to a movie...Synchro and I might be headed for some trails on Sunday so I'll try and snap some shots of the bumper in action (maybe we can test those D-rings, eh?)
Also, for anyone asking, you can just buy the bumper alone w/out the tire carrier, that's what I'm getting (don't have the cash nor desire for rear tire carrier just yet, I just want the bumper for protection & recovery.)

The bumper mounting into the frame--if you look closely you can sort of see the frame stiffeners (e-mail me if you want the original 1024x768 pics, I'll send them to you.)
p.s. Apologies to modem users, the pics are pretty big (KB-wise), but I don't have time to compress them.
[edit] And to think *I* make fun of people for screwing up UBB...
