BAM!!! finally got the new psc bumper and tire carrier coated and installed. so much easier than the last one.
heres the story - received my psc bumper a while ago, and test fit and it was very snug, but it went on. got it coated, and it took some major massaging to get it on. had to grind the coating off the brackets on the bumper and paint off the frame rails. got the bumper on, installed the tire swing arm, and it wouldnt close. also, the pieces that the tire bolted to didnt work right with the license plate bracket, (they are supposed to be sending a newly engineered setup that works with stock bore wheels too) I had to lift up on the arm just to get it into the latch. called david@northridge, who then put me in touch with Rick@PSC and they said they would build a new bumper in which the mounting plates were spaced farther apart. Rick said that there had been several complaints regarding the problem i had, and that they had found that some of the newer frames were pear shaped, and the added width at the bottom of the rail was causing major problems. So PSC sent me a new bumper and swing arm, and are paying for the powder coating, and to ship the previous setup back. Pretty stand up thing to do if you ask me.
on to the pics

If you don't mind me asking you, how much did each of those tires cost you?

OK thanks. That's about what Rick had said in July. Sounds like they don't have a bolt-on fix. Your rig looks fantastic. Enjoy!
