    I put this on my Jeep JLU love it. Besides a great step, skid plate and recovery point it also serves as protection for those people who back into you in a parking lot as well!

    Lol, it's great for your spare tire if you come off a rock ledge hard.

    See the Supreme Suspension and Tacoma Lifestyles, version of their trailer hitch skid plates both come with a place for D-rings…for shackles

    Great addition to any vehicle that has a receiver hitch. I've had mine for a little over two years and it is very useful on both my jl and jt.

    I just got back from moab with no rear lift just 35 inch tires. Used this exact model and beat the crap out of it on hells revenge and 7 mile rim. Sounds terrible but works great!

    Thank you for the instant feedback. This is the one thing I hate about our trucks. Wish Jeep would have scaled back the overhang just a bit more. But it is a truck first and Jeep second.

    @@c130aviator yeah it is the sacrifice. I wanted a truck as my next vehicle but fell in love with jeeps over the past year so this way I got both! I'll take the sacrifice for now. Super cool truck and will do all of the moderate offroading I need for now. If i get into crazy offroading over the years definitely will need a jeep with no bed

    Yes it can but you can mitigate that with grip tape or hitch silencer products.i use rubber bands wrapped around the skid insert.

    Be carful when using as a tow/recovery point! use a solid pin, the locking types are not strong enough no shear strength.✌

    @c130aviator

    3 жыл бұрын

    I'm not sure I agree. The lock states it's rated for type 4 receiver hitches. Rated for at least 10k lbs of towing. The shear strength is 50k psi for stainless. I don't see exceeding that in any recovery situation.

    Sorry kept digging. Found that the shear strength is in the 30k lb range but a hitch is double shear so 60k lbs of pull force.
