No. It stays open all on it's own. It actually takes a bit of effort to close it. No more tailgate swinging closed on you while you load up the back. The only way I could see it swinging closed is if you parked facing down a very steep slope. Other than that it stays open until you close it.
And for everone else, so many pictures popped up of the bumper I didn't bother taking more shots of it, but if there's any part anyone wants to see specifically, let me know.

Can anyone post a video of the opening and closing?

I'd want the Rampage Recovery Bumper - I like the lights in the back for yanking people out.

edit: apparently, I'm also an idiot, as I realized (later) that you're looking for a tire carrier, as well.

I know that there are a few in the installation instructions on the Expedition One site that I looked at, and the whole system made more sense to me after that.

As LittleJon suggested, definitely take a look at the Expedition One page for better pics. It's actually pretty hard to take pictures with a 37" tire in the way, but this is the best I could manage.
Also doesn't help that I stink at using a digital camera. lol Also, you'll note some surface rust, ask others, but I did take the in house demo piece to get mine delivered without a wait and I believe the ones that go out are a bit more finished. I've keep putting off taking off the wheel and scuffing off the rust and hitting the few spots with some rustoleum.

I seem to have hit them right when a shipment is due in, they are shipping my bumper next week, one week after I ordered it...

And Bulldog Fab is the maker. Although it isn't quite finished yet since we ran out of time and the latch he ordered for it hadn't come in before I left for my school here. So it looks a little rough in a couple of places, but as soon as I'm done with flight school here he's going to finish it.

HAHA, Yeah... its mine! And Bulldog Fab is the maker. Although it isn't quite finished yet since we ran out of time and the latch he ordered for it hadn't come in before I left for my school here.

Thanks, I wanted something bold, but not in your face. And obviously something functional.
was it a 60 sim? or another one? I'm glad I'm done with the sims for a while. They're a bit tough for us back-enders
. Good training for the front guys, but nothing like the real bird for me, although it beats the hell outa powerpoint!
