Reviews for Rugged Ridge 11586.01 Off-Road Jack Mount for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Good quality product, instruction photos are poor and hard to follow, use YouTube instead. Also VERY Important to know if you have 2012 with Hardtop there is addition instructions to put spacers on so it doesn’t hit the back window. The issue is the bolts included ARE NOT LONG enough so it doesnt’ work, the bolts are about 1/4 -1/2 inch too short. Those of you that have AEV bumper this holder does work just fine.
Great accessory for those with a Hi-Lift/Farm Jack!
This product is sturdy, doesn't rattle, and is a quality-built product!
Although, if I may say, the installation instructions were not very thorough. You'll eventually Piece everything together!
Looks great on the Jeep. I had to enlarge the bottom plate holes to line up with the brackets. Holds the Jack really tight.
Good material. Installation instructions were a bit confusing. Nothing rattles and that's important.
I give this product 4 stars overall, due to enclosed instructions being confusing. Would recommend drilling pilot holes in tailgate hinge covers before going up to 1/2' as when I tried drilling large 1/2", it trashed the template. Otherwise, this product is sturdy and carries my 48" Hi-Lift Extreme just fine. The finish seems pretty durable and didn't scratch off when I dropped the upper hinge bracket onto concrete while trying to install. I found a couple of videos on youtube, which helped get past instructions. Installation took me about 1 hour and 45 minutes as I reinstalled hinge covers and it was difficult getting everything lined up so hinge covers went back on with the product.
Wonderful product very strong and sturdy it can be locked as well apparently it's Universal fitting takes less than half an hour to install the only problem I had was the upper part of the install on the top hinge
It holds the Jack just fine with very little movement. Instructions are almost useless with very little details provided. Definitely take your time with them. The provided template lined up perfectly for my 2014 and the covers are simple to drill through. While not stated by other reviewers, something to keep in mind before buying this is if your taillight cages will hit the Jack when opening the tailgate. I have RedRock cages on mine and they don't run, but you will want to consider that before you install. Good product, lousy instructions.
Looks great but it doesn’t allow you to use a boot cover on your jack. If you’re set on mounting your Jack on the tailgate, then this is probably the best product, but I wouldn’t recommend mounting it there. My jack took quite a beating over the course of a year or so. Looking back, I’d mount it internally instead. Installation was pretty difficult too.
Per other reviews the installation instructions stink. I went on google and there was a better set of instructions and a YouTube movie on it. Had a tough time aligning the second bolt on the top bracket with the receiver behind the door, it kept moving. After finally getting it in place ,the 2 holes on the bottom of the jack mount were off about an 1/8”. After having all the trouble getting the top bolt installed I wasn’t about to take it off again so I enlarged the bottoms of the 2 lower holes with a small grinder enough to get the bolts in. After that it seems to be a sturdy mount. Make sure and use the supplied spacers if you have a hardtop.
The right bottom and the top right top holes do not align. Not worth the hassle to return and get my money back so I’ll pursue drilling or grinding new holes as described in the previous post. This product should not be sold and can not recommend it.
