Default AEV Rear Bumper Questions?

So the AEV Rear Bumper + Tire Carrier is pretty awesome.

I heard rumours that there are 'mounting things' that allow the mounting of a high lift jack?
If these exist, where can I get them?

Also is it possible to fit jerry can mounts on this bumper?
Same as above, if it's possible, where can I get them?

AEV FTW

Yeah, cause I saw on the vid on youtube about the bumper, the guy was talking about them. So just wondering what the deal is if they're out yet etc?

What really impressed me on that vid are the black pintlers?
I want those! Anyone have info bout them?

They were done custom for a customer's vehicle conversion. I am sure you could take them to a local shop and have them powder coated and get similar results.

Were those just powder coated? Haha, that's an easy solution. Looks evil!

AEV's video shows the shovel mount is integrated. They said the production versions would have mounts for a jack, but they were not on the pre-production model in the video.

It is just being held on with a few u-bolts. The jack mount, and all accesory mounts are not coming with the bumper, and are not going to require any changes or modifications. It is hard to tell in the picture, but there is a u-bolt at the top and bottom of the jack holder that it mounts to the tire carrier with.
