undefined review of Jeep Liberty KK Front Hitch Receiver w/ Shackle Tab image 1 out of 1
William K.
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...

Will S.
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.

The Kratos is awesome! It’s super sturdy and there’s no movement at all. Definitely have a friend around for install. Bash is the man! Solid and aesthetically pleasing welds. If you have any questions he’s happy to answer them. Would recommend 100%.

Awesome build and quality! Packaging was secure and arrived raw as expected, got it powered coated locally Ironman green to match lift kit. Holes lined up perfectly for my 2005 GX. Mounting directions were good but estimates and knowing the side anchor bolt pattern, given in the directions , was great as I had to use a tap to clean out the threads of course. Very happy and recommend to all!

Bash is awesome! He got my order out when it was finished and communication by text message was prompt and thorough. The welds are great and the product is straight and true. Either he has built some great jigs or he’s a great welder on a fixture table. No warping, good penetration and temperature on the welds and they even look fantastic like a row of dimes laid out. The bumper was clean but definitely use some prep spray or acetone to wipe it down until you get a clean rag before coating it.

Install wasn’t hard at all. The supplied Allen bolts for the cover were short. I switched to regular hex head bolts. Although it may seem that they fit either side. The plate cover are L and R specific. Shackle mounts are extremely beefy. These are very well welded and gusseted. Even the underside you can see they were drilled and welded for even more strength. Very happy with these. Totally love the all business no bs look.

Took longer than expected to receive the order but well worth the wait. Supper heavy duty. Took some cutting up of the bumper to get it to fit with the original hooks. Every time I reached out to Bash with a ? He got back to me super fast. That is costumer service that is just not out there anymore. Well done Bash!!! Thanks Ken

Shane
The build quality is flawless, easy to install and fitment is amazing, I was very happy to replace my EAG bumper with the overland bumper there is no comparison in quality, and at 4 inches of lift I gained over 20 degrees of approach angle compared to the EAG bumper. I couldn't be happier with this bumper and would 100% recommend it to anyone looking for a new bumper. Customer service was also amazing any questions I had where answered very quickly.

Britt C.
Impressed with the overall quality of the product. The welds look solid and the two plug welds on the bottom holding the shackle mount to the base plate was a nice surprise I’ve seen some shackle kits from worldwide name brand manufacturers and they simply don’t have the girth or weight that this kit has. It mounts in the best possible spot for stable and solid recovery point. The other guys shackle hangs down low and points down below the bumper acting as a potential anchor. Only thing I would ...

This hidden winch mount is nothing but prefect from the welds to the easy installation it's just plain awesomeness. If your questioning buying it just do it you won't regret it. The customer service is by far hands down the best and Bash is a straight up dude. It may take a month or 2 to get it but it's worth every minute of the wait. Besides if your poor like me it gives you time to get everything ready for when it comes in. I'm going to be buying more stuff for my wj from bash and he gots a l...

2004 WJ. 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. Tom

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 work is phenomenal. The mount is p...

Excellent customer experience. I was able to pick up my order well ahead of schedule. Product seems well made, holes line up with frame, good welds. These products are handmade individually so there are some slight variances from one to another- my recover points were slightly different than in the photos so I had to cut my grill twice.

undefined review of GateKeeper - WJ Radiator Skid Plate w/ 8 Tubes image 1 out of 1
William S.
My gate keeper is a complement to my Krawler bumper! The quality is first class. It is heavy duty. It fits perfectly and helps protect the radiator area. I purchased the Gatekeeper version which eliminates the rad core support, and it was a good decision. It gave me extra clearance in the front. The gate keeper is a necessity as it protects the vulnerable bottom of your radiator when off road. HK's customer service is first in class.

Ethan W.
By far, one of the most empowering modifications I've done to my WJ. The ability to mount a 10 - 12k winch while retaining the light and tasteful stock bumper is a game-changer. Gives me added comfort knowing I have a good recovery option or means of assisting myself over/through an obstacle. I've already put it to use! Installation was tricker then anticipated, but that's because I was being picky and trying to not hack up my grill/bumper in the process. Still messed up a bit, but it's all ...

Looked at other options, but the HK Hidden winch mount looked to be the highest quality and didn't compromise approach angle. Picked it up in person since I'm local and the guys were helpful and friendly. Installing the mount took some time (I'm picky), but was not difficult at all. Plus, the unit was MASSIVE compared to the stock sheet metal! All the parts needed to finish the job were included and fit correctly without modification. I placed a 12k winch in the mount and it fit perfectly. Now n...

The Kratos is awesome! Took my rig on rough road with some whoops, no problems. I have a 35/12.5r17 on it and the lift gate opens right up. (Even the wife can open it. LOL) All & all a great product! Would recommend to all WK owners with lifted rigs.

Hands down the best product and absolutely the best customer service I have ever dealt with. I was in a bind and in a dire need of a spare tire carrier to ship my jeep out to guam. They were Very understanding. The spare tire carrier is an absolute hit here in guam. Very military friendly. Again I can’t express my love for the company, the customer service and the product. Thank you a million times over!!!

I love this winch mount! It was well packed when delivered. The fit and finish and welds look very good. Install was simple, i rushed through it as i was leaving for the UP the next day, so my bumper cuts could have been cleaner. I like the tie in points to the frame. Almost the competitors only mount to the frame horn, the HK connects to the horns and frame. I’ve used the my winch dozens of times with no issues, including off angle pulls. The shackle tabs are super overbuilt. I’ve use...

Thanks Bash! The Hidden Winch Plate is the best out there. Quality of the craftsmanship is top notch. The price does not reflect the quality, low price with high quality. Customer service, no, it’s personal service by Bash is icing on the cake. Being local (Southern California) saves money on shipping.

Arrived a little tweaked from shipping, but nothing terrible. Welds look awesome, and the carrier itself is STOUT. I currently have a 295/70R17 mounted on it, and it has no issue holding it. I’m 220lbs, and able to use it climb on and stand when putting my RTT up or packing it down. I wasn’t able to find instructions for install, but after watching a quick YouTube video, everything went together pretty pain free. I can’t recommend this carrier enough. If you’re on the fence, you won’t regret ...

Great product! Winch mount is well designed and constructed. Overall fit was excellent. I did have to enlarge the bolt holes for the radiator mounts. It would be nice if it included a template for the grill cutouts, but it is doable without. I reused my factory front license plate holder by trimming it and mounting the plate with small spacers. Very happy with the stealthy install. This winch mount was worth the wait!

I got my kit and I am absolutely no expert on welding, but a friend of mine who does a lot of welding was extremely impressed by the quality of these parts. The fit and finish was excellent. I couldn’t ask for a better look for my Jeep. Would recommend this to anyone.

Luke G.
All things considered, the install was not as challenging as I anticipated it being. The directions on the HK website more or less cover it all. When mounting the hidden winch via sandwich plates in the frame rails, you will have to drill out the farthest back bolt for mounting, which is something I did not find to be as clear/in order in the instructions. Once the grill was on, the hood release from the cabin was not properly working. It seems the hood is not able to go 100% of the way down a...

I have posted a review on Jeep Forum which is very complimentary, owing to the fact that the product is exceptionally made and fit very well. Installation was held up only a day because of powder coating, my choice, and because I had follow up questions of Bash. Once he straightened me out, BAM, it was complete. Thank you very much Bash, and HK Offroad. A very, very satisfied customer.
