After YEARS of procrastination by me, my visiting brother (welder, fabricator, auto painter) started mocking up a skin for my rear bumper. It's built around the guts of a TireGate (spare tire swing-away assembly) and my OEM 2" receiver.
Here's the custom front bumper for the styling cues I wanted in the rear:
And the foam-core beginning of the rear:

The bolt that holds the Calipers on. I'm doing exactly what you did. Unbolting them and zip tieing em out of the way. Anyhow I just got the bolt.... I was actually tightening itLots of heat, PB blaster and muscle did the trick!!
LOL, I almost asked you were you tightening it, then I am like nah, he wouldn't be. Sometimes those bolts facing backwards are tricky.
