WARN 65508 Rock Crawler Rear Bumper Review

WARN 65508 Rock Crawler Rear Bumper

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.

Rugged Ridge 11214.53 Dual Battery Tray Review

This is a cheap, stolen knock-off of the Benchmark Designs original product. If you are going to get a dual battery tray for your JK, GO WITH THE REAL DEAL Benchmark Designs. They offer the proper isolator setups with their product as well. I did.

Saris B.A.T. 2-Bike Spare Tire Rack Review

Saris B.A.T. 2-Bike Spare Tire Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Purchasing a bike rack for a 2007 Toyota Rav4 is a big pain in the a**.
The rear door for the 2007 (and I believe 2006, both of which saw a significant redesign to previous models) swings to the side rather than up. The spare tire is attached to the rear door, and there's a metal bracket that the tire bolts onto.
I originally purchased the Yakima Spare Joe and it didn't really fit on the Rav4 due to the bracket in the back blocking the strap that is supposed to run vertically behind the tire.
I returned that one and purchased this one instead. It's a pretty good price but requires that you also purchase one of two special metal pieces that goes behind the tire and eventually gives you something to bolt the BAT to. See: Saris BAT Spare Tire Rack Mounting Plate B - 996B. For a simple hunk of metal and a bolt, $50 is pretty ridiculously expensive, making the entire product much more expensive than it initially appears.
Once you get everything you have to attach it to your car. The plate the company recommends doesn't fit the Rav4 at all, as the spare tire mount (the Toyota bracket) has a metal lip that is in the way of the BAT bracket.
Your only options at this point are to return everything or bust out your handy metal grinder and grind off the entire metal lip on the spare tire mount. Which is what we did and at that point I was able to attach everything and it worked fine after that.
An additional annoyance is that to actually get to your spare tire in case of a flat, you need to remove the BAT, which is to be expected, but for some reason they didn't bother to make the final mounting bolt a size larger than can be removed by standard lug wrenches, so you have to carry an additional wrench around to removed the bolt.
It would have been handy if the customer rep that I spoke to on the phone from Saris had warned me ahead of time that this didn't fit my Rav4.
Anyway, now that everything is on it does seem to work fine.

Installed by myself in about an hour with no drilling or modifications to the car. I strapped it to a floor jack to position it underneath the car.
