Instal went exactly as advertised. Very easy and straight forward, connect the bottom hood latch bolts before attaching the mount. Using a step drill is highly recommended. Im mounting a warning vr very soon.

I have a 2016 JK Rubicon. I asked HK Offroad to make my D Ring shackle tabs with longer bolts so I could keep my recovery hooks. We knew that we would need to grind down the bolt heads to make it work from the start. in the end we felt that too much bolt head needed to come off. We tried changing the sequence of where we placed the hooks and trimmed back the top of the bumper shell to make room for the hook. We were on a good path but then the hook conflicted with the bull bar. We decided to kee...

Great and heavy duty winch mount for the Q7.
Very good price if you live in the US,
Shipping and taxes makes it expensive for me as a Dutch customer, but don’t regret it a bit!
Installation requires some work but nothing special, only adding the ACC back is a pain in the butt.
Had very good contact with bash, keeping me updated even though we have a 8 hour time difference

After importing this to the UK, I fitted it to my 2004 Grand Cherokee WJ 2.7CRD.
It fits to the factory bolt holes underneath extremely well which make drilling the remaining four holes a breeze.
Be patient when trimming your bumper and you will get a good fit.
I am extremely happy with the quality and can't recommend this product highly enough.

High quality part, easy install, good price. What else is there to say other than many thanks to Bash and the crew at HK Offroad for giving the WJ much needed love that is ignored by so many other manufacturers.

The hardest part of the job was drilling out stock hooks to reuse on my install, outside of that im totally satisfied with the tow tabs there beefy. I will tow my Rubicon with total confidence

I have been wanting this kit for a while now, really wanted to keep factory front bumper. This was the only kit that I am aware of that that gets rid of crash cans, and I get the D-ring shackle recovery points that I wanted. Everything about the HK Offroad kit is perfect, everything is super heavy duty. Fit perfectly, now my front bumper is complete, get a lot of compliments!

We already had the Krawler high clearance bumper and this Gatekeeper fit up perfectly. There was a bit of work cutting out the old radiator support that would have been a lot easier when the bumper was off but was well worth the effort. We also had to take the fog lights back off to get access to the inside of the frame tube to get it bolted on but once we got that taken care of it was pretty easy.
My 17/y son was able to get it prepped, painted, and installed in a weekend. As promised it ...

Overall the shackle tab kit for the JK turned out great. I powder-coated them flat black and it took a little extra bending to get one of the bumper cover plates to fit good and I had to purchase washers and nuts to mount the two plates on the bumper, but I am very happy overall as these things are rock solid! Now, I will be able to flat tow the Jeep or mount recovery D-rings with a clean - almost factory look. Thank you!

These solid shackle mounts are a HUGE upgrade to the stock recovery hooks. I like the fact that you can retain the hooks for the cosmetic look. Beyond the product quality, I cannot speak more highly of the responsiveness and customer service provided by Bash, absolutely the best I have ever experienced.

Fit was perfect and looks great. Easy and very secure connection for Blue Ox RV tow bar without having to cut the factory steel skid plate for the standard adapter. The standard adapter also reduces ground clearance. One picture is before the installation - silly OE crash cans and large plastic covers are still in place. Other pictures are after the install - beautiful. Bash - thanks very much for very clean work and fast delivery.

Front hitch came in excellent packaging and once remove it was extremely clean - very little prep needed prior to painting. Hitch welds are also excellent. While it final installation of the hitch is obvious the removal of the bumper needs to be viewed on YouTube— there is an excellent video related to installing a tow baseplate that will guide you. I am very happy with this hitch with shackle tabs. I have converted my tow bar to attach to the shackle tabs (this hitch is stronger than a normal b...

Super easy installation after the trip to ACE hardware. My kit did not include hardware to attach it to my vehicle. So that was over an hour spent at ACE and 30$ in additional hardware. After that I’d say it took about 20 minutes to bolt up. Extremely solid construction. Very happy with the durability and strength of the rack. It held my rooftop tent absolutely perfect! Really happy with the product overall!

My HK Krawler is a beast. It is welded like a tank and it fits perfect along with the gate keeper giving good protection to the front-end and radiator areas. The quality is second to none! The welds are awesome. HK's customer service is first class. We had some questions and we received help and customer care above and beyond what we needed. We already put the bumper to good use; winching trees out of the way after a major storm in our area.

I was looking for a quality winch mount to not only add a winch but add more heavy duty tow hooks. The guys at hk offroad really did a wonderful job with the fabrication. I got the mount powder coated dark purple and added my 12k winch to it with synthetic rope. I've already used it a hand full of times. Thanks again for a wonderful product and excellent customer service!

HK off-road very informative. They included the safety chain braces in my order. I had these powder coated locally. Take your time on install. Figment is like factory. I wanted to keep the factory look and factory steel bumper on the final edition JL. Ready to tow behind the Coach.

It took a while to get these as Bam makes them to order, but let me tell you it’s well worth the wait. These are BEEFY! They come bare steel so you can coat them to your liking. Powder coat would be ideal, but my local shop had a three-week backlog so I just shake-canned them and installed. They look awesome and I have all confidence the Blue Ox tow bar would fail long before these puppies. Highly recommend if you want hard recovery points or intend to flat tow and don’t want that baseplate han...

This mount is amazing! Customer service is top notch as well. Bash is always a text away. Before placing my order, I reached out to him to discuss my winch's fitment, and he said warned me about how stupid big my winch is (buy once, cry once type of deal) and told me what I need to do to make it fit. He was on the money with his precautions obviously. I decided to go a different route with my bumper and grill trim to make it all fit, but it does.

The quality of the bracket is far better than stock and I have no complaints! Bash was great to deal with and very communicative throughout the entire process.

Great heavy duty hitch for the Bronco! We have a 2024 Badlands with steel bumper and the team at HK was awesome communicating the changes needed to get it to fit due to some changes Ford made with the bumper brackets in 24. Went on without a hitch and the trailer wiring harness was a nice bonus. Thank you.

Was a long ordeal to get the winch mount. But Very happy I stayed with it.
The fit was perfect. And if you know anything about this sort of part a perfect fit is hard.
Very well made.
One thought on the instructions.... Use a long saws all metal blade and do the frame cut
in one shot. Very easy install. As we bought a house after the install I've not mounted a winch yet........
But Rock rails are next.
Very happy with the quality
All in all well done.

The Krawler high clearance bumper for WJ took some time to fab but was well worth the wait. My high school son and I were able to get the cutting and install done in a weekend along with winch wiring, and had him back on the road to school on Monday. We took a second weekend for final trim and fit of the blackout grill, wiring fog lights, changing lights, and washer bottle relocation.
Fitment was spot-on; once we tapered the sides of the stock chassis bumper and removed the center section i...

Bash, I was hesitant to take the sawzall to the front of a perfectly good Jeep, but after a few measurements and a little patience, it went together like a glove. The hardest part was notching the plastic bumper cover. Thanks for offering a great and thought out solution to the WJ owners that want a recovery solution that looks like it could have came from the factory.
