Quadratec 4 Bike Folding Bike Rack

Description

In my other Jeep, for example, I have a Smittybilt bumper which has the bolts welded in place, so you can finagle it and get it onto the mounting points without shifting the bolts out of place and have to put it down, reset the bolts, and try again. ReviewInstallation: 1/5 Horrible, in part due to my warnings above. I was looking for a bumper that looked aggressive but not over the top since this is also my office commuter at times. You need the brackets! Durability: NA I haven't really tested the bumper other than lifting the Jeep using the jack mount points, which are super convenient. Paid for it during install though. Where the bumper mounts to the frame, there are 4 L-shaped brackets, 2 on either side of each mounting point. It took me about a dozen tries to get the bumper onto the mounting points because all 6 bolts have to enter the points at the same time, perfectly, since they are free-standing. Rugged Ridges provides plastic washers that are supposed to hold the bolts in place for when you install the bumper onto the mounting points, but if you're off by a millimeter, the bolts are going to move and the plastic washers won't do. Price: 5/5 Hard to beat. Mostly though, the bolts for the bumper are free-standing, meaning they're not welded onto the bumper, meaning they move. The shackle mounting points are easily accessible and the hooks look vicious, which is what I wanted. You need the brackets for incandescent JL fog lights; just the carriage bolts will not work!
