Yes. It does.
A bit more openness about one's affiliations tends to improve one's credibility. Here's a few lines from the profile of the Flickr account where these spy photos are posted:

LOL How come it has CA plates on it.
What's the deal with the rear bumper? No swing out and the recovery points look like tie down loops?

Hi guys,
yeah the rear bumper looks insubstantial in the pics, but in reality weighs about 75lbs and ads a massive crossmember between that outer tubing and the chassis and receiver rated for greater than what the truck can actually pull along with the tubing along each side below the rear fender areas. The tow loops are rated at better than 5 ton each working load, (they are the smaller variety the same as what's on the front of our full size bumpers for recovery and you could easily lift the truck from one of them, they are not tie down loops) and should easily survive any typical pulls required (we drug a new Tundra across a parking lot on a winch test with these using a double line pull on the front of a Frontier without problems) with the ability to bridle them if you want to rip the truck in half. Anyway, it's a typical Aussie rear ute bar, built to work and not really intended to be pretty in this case, but I pity anyone who rear ends this Equator as that will be it for their vehicle as it is extremely strong.
