Can't tell from the pic, are the tabs on each side of the receiver for d-rings? What is the hitch rating? I think I like it! The front is nice as well.

No those tabs are for their departure rollers.

It looks miles ahead of the rear tire carrier they used to offer, plus it opens with the tailgate. Price is great.

The real question is, however, judging from the Trektop fiasco (newest version), when would this bumper actually be available??? It could be into next year, based on new releases in the past from Bestop. Something to consider.
