HKOffRoad never fails. Great tire carrier! Install was straight forward and as Bash says in the instructions, "measure 4 times drill once". Very solid and very happy with purchase. Whats next? perhaps a roof rack? We'll see. Thanks Bash. You make great stuff.

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 haven't had the chance to burn these in yet, but they are BEEFY. I have absolutely zero concerns these will hold up to any punishment I put them through. Another great product from HK Offroad!!

This is an incredible product. The Sandwich Plates make it very easy to install. The hardest part of the installation was removing the old Roadmaster Towbar bracket from the previous owner. I love how solid it feels! Thank you for selling this as bare metal. I chose a "Heavy Silver" powder coat finish which allows the tow bar to stand out.

Great kit, fitment is perfect. Shant communicates promptly and it is a pleasure to make a purchase from someone who cares about customer service and the product he sells! Thank you for all the help.

I have not gone on the trail or needed to use it on the trail yet, but at some point I definitely will, and I am glad that I have it. 1- It fits my needs. 2- For the trail, it is a good choice and one of the more necessary upgrades for a stock Jeep Grand Cherokee, (Laredo), WJ because, for me, it is much more affordable in comparison to a heavy-duty bumper/winch-mount, combo. etc. and it weighs a lot less, particularly being able to use it for a removable winch that can be stored in the garage...

Absolutely awesome tire carrier! Alot of design and function in this. Absolutely impressed. The only thing I'm not impressed with is how long it takes to get one. From time of order to at my door was 3 months. It's worth the wait, but don't expect it next week...

Alan C.

I was able to pick up my bumper in person and after fitting it on my jeep, I took it off for powder coating. It came out fantastic. The bumper is a tight fit with the AC condenser but tucks behind my stock bumper easily with some cutting to clear the radiator support and an opening for the winch. I've already used the winch and recovery points and I never had any concern that they would fail. This bumper is well built and much better quality than the aftermarket bumper I had previously.

Thought I would share a picture with the winch mounted. Receiver is extremely well made and durable. I daily drive the Jeep with the winch removed and install it for trail use. The receiver is high in front and hasn’t compromised approach angle on the trail. I have used the recovery tabs and receiver multiple times and it shows no wear or tear at all after a year of use.

Laud M.

Worth the wait!!! The craftsmanship and quality of the mount is fantastic. Very little modification was needed for a positive fit. Future buyers need to be aware of the plastic work needed for the Limited bumper. Patience and very small cuts will get the results the buyer is wanting. A month after install, a group of friends went into the Ozark National Forest during an awesome snow storm for a week of camping and wheeling. I was on the winch line many times. I kept checking the mounting ...

Great product. Super strong, high quality welds. Any time I had questions about the order Bash would reply in less than an hour via email. I even requested a modification to the carrier so the tire would sit flush with the roof since I need to park the Jeep under a carport that I do not own and cannot modify. Since the tire is lower it has more leverage on the struts but they still hold the liftgate open easily. With the lower tire mount, the license plate was blocked but this was easily solved ...

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.

I have not installed yet. I need to send off to the powder coaters. This is the second product I've bought from Bash. I am above happy, impressed, excited. So well built and beautiful! l'm tempted to hang it on my wall like a piece of art. Can't say enough. Customer service is amazing is top notch as well. Thanks again and happy jeeping!

Fairly straightforward installation. I struggled with both back factory holes. I was not able to use the supplied bolts as the holes did not quite line up so used some smaller bolts that i had around. Not sure if it was the frame tweaked or the hitch itself. Works awesome and met all my expectations. Highly recommend.

Very well made. Heavy duty, solid and great welds. Installation was a perfect fit for for my 2004 Jeep WJ Laredo. They look great paired with some 3/4” D-Rings.

We added these to our 2024 Rubicon. Heavy duty and the perfect solution for flat-towing and recovery. We used a drill press to drill out the red hooks and the finished product looks great! Bash was patient and promptly answered all of our questions. Would recommend to anyone looking for a flat-tow solution without the need for a baseplate.

Great bit of kit, very well designed and built fitted onto my 2002 WG 4.7 H.O. with no problems at all. Bash was amazingly helpfull and promised it would fit the Britsh Jeep and he was good as his word. Big thank you from this side of the pond.

Jason K.

I ordered these as my first major upgrade to my WJ requiring cutting for the sole purpose of superior underbody protection and they did not disappoint. I only have a 2” spacer lift and front sway bar disconnects with 31” tires. I also have an aftermarket transfer case skid plate along with these rocker replacement sliders and they provided all of the protection I could have needed for where it counts. I installed these literally the day before leaving for a trip, and they were used and abused. T...

Once again Bash and the HK team killed it with another awesome product. This thing is built incredibly well. I have the glissade sliders on my jeep as well. If you are on the edge about buying one...... JUST DO IT!!!!! Its worth every penny. Last trip I went on I had to pull a sizeable tree off the trail. This thing didn't even blink. ZERO bending, creaking, or movement. To be honest I'm pretty sure I could lift the jeep by it and it would be fine. Thanks again for another great product and keep...

Got the hidden winch mount. And boy is durable as heck. All bolted on here is holding roughly 700 pounds. I have great faith in this product. It was solid as hell with awesome beautiful welds.. I have no doubt this piece of equipment will overchieve anything thrown at it!

Tough as. Welding quality is a work of art. Fitment is mm precision. The front hitch is priceless and so practical. I can launch my boat at the beach and winch it back on the trailer. Thanks for an awesome product guys - Chris, Australia

I worked with Bash to come up with a design. And with a couple text messages and pix sent. TaDa… The Rhino Hook was born. With all the designing and fabrication. I got my bumper within three weeks. Bash was amazing to work with and a big help understanding what I wanted. As for the bumper/ hidden winch mount. It’s no where near as heavy as I was thinking. But man is it beefy. There is no doubt that this thing won’t come apart. The welds look amazing. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in makin...

Great product. Fit just find with trying to trim as little as possible to fit the stock bumper and still making look like its not even there. The only problem I had with it is that the hood support bars were a little long and push the hood up a little bit.

Nice thick metal. Easy install. Nice and solid. Definitely took some time to install and correctly fit bumper without hacking it up like 99% of the people that have them. Will buy for my other 2 WJs.

Rick S.

Bash was awesome to work with in responding to my questions. The quality of my winch mount shows it will perform and last as advertised. Installation was easy, the hard part was cutting the facia. This is a much better way to keep the winch protected and away from unwanted eyes. Thanks Bash. Rick in Cabo.

The HK hidden winch mount is fantastic. The installation went really well and it’s as solid as can be. Fortunately I’ve only used it for pulling bushes this far, but I’m totally prepared and expect it to meet any demand I throw at it when the time comes.

Purchased Street Sweeper hidden winch mount modified by Bash to fit my Apex 12000 winch. Great product!! Perfect fit and great quality. Sent a question on Sunday night expecting an answer Monday when they opened. 20 minutes later Bash responded while he and his wife were traveling on the highway and his wife texted me the info I needed right away...I mean who does that now days? Customer for life.

After getting caught in flash flooding and wishing I had an easier front recovery point, I decided to install a set of these. Man, these things are beefy! I painted mine silver to compliment some of my trim, and it looks amazing. Get compliments all the time. And best of all I know I have a strong attachment point should I ever need it to help myself or someone else.

Very happy with this product. I was involved in a car accident were the other driver ran the stop sign and hit my winch mount and ripped there whole side of the car and it just bent the chackle on my winch mount thank God everyone was safe and thank you very much for this product ...the accident could have gone worse.

Joel L.

Bash was able to make me a custom order one. Where he left the front off the winch box so I could build my own bumper to the winch box. This winch box is stout and has a great mounting system mounts all the way back to the front skid plate bolt hole. Thank you so much Bash for your help and for the product. Also thank you for sending me some decals to rock on the jeep for you.

Aaron N.

Install was a breeze with the instructions. I cut the bumper high enough to read the HK logo. Why not show it off? The only negative is that it didn't come with a sticker for the window. I'll get over it. Altogether worth the wait.

Daniel G.

Another high quality product from Bash and the gang at HK Offroad. Install was a breeze. It mated up perfectly with the mounting points for the hidden winch mount, but I did have to trim about 3/8" off the top to clear the bottom of the A/C condenser. With a little spray on undercoating it looks like it could be a factory part. Though not an expensive part by any means, the peace of mind knowing my radiator isn't hanging out there to be crushed is priceless. Thanks HK Offroad for another qualit...

Much stronger than OEM tow hooks…no comparison! Looks incredible and build quality is second to none. Easy install, just a little work with a grinder. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase.

Coated this with Raptor liner and damn this thing is awesome! Bolts up with no issues…unless you’re a little weakling, you may need help getting it up there, it’s pretty hefty. That being said, looks like it’ll really take a beating and keep begging for more. Can’t wait for my other orders to arrive, thanks Bash and team! 🤘🏼

Quality heavy duty offroad product, prompt and very responsive customer support, straight forward bolt on instructions, components and installation. The longest part of the project was the painting. I put my touches and made my winch completely hidden with a fairlead and hook license plate cover 👌🏼
