Rampage 76651 Rock Rage Front Bumper Tire Carrier with Receiver Review

Rampage 76651 Rock Rage Front Bumper Tire Carrier with Receiver

For the money there is no better deal. The bumper is built OK and should hold up to regular use. Fits my 35" tire wonderfully. The hinge and latch system are OK but not the best. I have seen better designs, but this works. The 2" receiver is not rated or ideal for towing and Im wondering if its a strong enough recovery point either??? Im happy with the looks and the fisnish is acceptable too. You can get better & stronger bumpers/tire carriers, but you will also pay for them.

WARN 65508 Rock Crawler Rear Bumper Review

This bumper superceeds the stock jeep wrangler TJ bumper, I have a Jeep Wrangler 2001 Sahara. To install this bumper it requires you to drill 4 holes and gives you measurements and all. I would suggest though making the holes longer oval shaped because they have to fit into a pre threaded hole in the bumper to screw into. speaking of which unless you go the special tools and torq wrench have fun getting behind your gas tank to screw it in, you could drop the gas tank in all but mine was full so that didnt work out. Anyways all in all once the bumper was on it looked amazing. If you get the front bumper too it goes on like butter.

Hi-Lift Jack TM-700 1"-2" Adjustable Tube Mount Review

Hi-Lift Jack TM-700 1-2 Adjustable Tube Mount

I've had this about a month installed on an 07 FJ Cruiser with stock roof rack supporting a 60" Hi-Lift X Jack. I was a little skeptical of these 2 brackets supporting the weight of the 60" jack and keeping it suspended on rough terrain, but after several outings it hasn't even been an issue. Fit and finish is pretty good. The "U" bolt and nuts could be cleaner but in comparison to other brackets that cost 2-3X these, they are fine. Be careful when torquing, you can crush your rack tubes if you are not careful. It has done what it is supposed to do perfectly.
So why 3 stars???? Because, although these mounts perform and are some of the cheapest mounts I've seen, its still over $50 for brackets. These are brackets!! Why they cost almost half the jack itself I have no clue. There isn't half as much material in these as in my Hi-lift Xtreme!
I feel the purchase would have been more justified if it were providing additional value like added security but there is no way to lock the mount to secure the jack. I use a gun lock to secure the jack to the roof rack which is an added expense. Also, you can't secure the mounts themselves to the roof rack to avoid theft.
Another minor gripe, It would have been nice to have at least a minimal selection of hardware color finishes to choose from.
Call me weird, but it bothers me that I have to spend more money just to be able to bring along a jack I already paid for. If the jack was meant to stay home, then I would understand. I feel this should have been standard equipment with the purchase of the jack. It doesn't make sense to throw it in your cab or the bottom of your truck bed for convenience sake, even if you have the space and I've never seen it done. I've always seen it mounted because it needs to be. What was I thinking..... buying a recovery jack to actually BRING with me.

Hi-Lift Jack 4X400 4XRAC Jack Mounting System Review

Great little jack mount. Find a spot, drill a few holes and you're done. I really wish they had used the same bolt pattern for the both the locking rack and this one so I could use the front lock with the back mount... OR if they offered a product like this one that was locking. I plan on drilling a hole in the mounting bolt on this kit and running a pad lock through it (basically all the lock mount is). Won't stop a determined thief with a lot of time on his hands, but will slow them down. Anyone who has one of these jacks beware: they tend to walk off by themselves, even in remote areas.

Yakima Axe/Shovel Bracket Review

These brackets are well made and work fine for transport. But when you need access to the shovel, the knobs must be removed and the brackets come apart so you have to deal with several pieces that need to be stored and reassembled when you access the shovel.
