Just got off the phone with the guys and my 05 sliders are in production.
Said that they will ship out the end of next week.

Thay also have the rear Swing Away bumper in production for the 05 as well.

scratching my head if I should order one or not. Since the rear tire is tucked up so far in the 05 I was thinking of just the bumper and not the tire carrier. I just would really like the shackles back there.

there isn't a way to bolt on shackles to the stock bumper and tie it into the bumper supports so it would be strong enough to tow is there?

Pretty sure there isn't a way cuz I would have scene a thread about it by now.
