Got this as a Christmas present from my parents and finally put it together when the sun came out. I assembled it completely by myself, so it did take a bit longer than it would’ve with 2 to 3 people. So it is possible to assemble by yourself, it just takes a long time. After installing the foam and all the rubber, it probably took over six hours. If you follow the instructions you should have no problem getting it together. If you don’t read the instructions you will be up Schitt’s creek.

Great bumper for the price. Looks great and I really like it a lot but there were some issues on the install. The directions leave something to be desired to say the least. The front of the truck disassembly was not bad. Lots of videos on the internet. Marking the plastic bumper cover where to cut was a bit challenging. The directions give you a starting and ending point, but no measurement points at all in the middle. I suggest cutting a little below, like a half inch, where the directions show. You can trim later if needed. I used a oscillating tool to cut the bumper cover. It cut like butter. The fender liners are easy to cut and if you push the front of them up you can bolt them to the sheet metal body above for a nice clean look. I had to trim the lower inch or so off of the two black plastic radiator air collecting fins on each side of the radiator for the new bumper mounts to go high enough to slide over the frame bolts. The grill must be installed before you install the bumper! It will not fit after! That said, if you're going to install the winch solenoid behind the grill, like the directions show, it needs to be installed before you put the grill and bumper on. I installed a Badland Apex 12k winch. First, I had to make a bracket to hold the Badland solenoid, which is way larger than the supplied plate. I also mounted it near the top of the radiator grill area for access if it needs replacing or service and to access the winch remote on/off switch and control cord receptacle. Then I had to trim a notch in the small plastic piece that connects the remaining bumper cover plastic and the bottom of the grill to be able to use the free spool lever. The only way to reach the lever is through the hole in the bumper next to the fairlead. If you don't trim a notch in both you cant reach the lever. You surely can't see it at all, even after cutting the notch! I had to make another bracket to hold the main battery disconnect switch next to the battery. I installed a six position fuse and relay box for the small supplied fog lights along with some flood/spot lights I bought them from Suparee. They are really nice and not too expensive. The bumper, winch, relocating the solenoid, installing the disconnect, making the solenoid and disconnect brackets, installing the relays, extra lights and wiring everything took two 12 hours days. I'll be curious to see how the winch plate and bumper hold up to the 12k winch with the truck buried to the doors in mud or pulling up a steep incline. The bumper is like 125 pounds and the winch is around 85 pounds. Once installed it dropped the nose of my 21 Tacoma a half to three quarters of an inch. No too bad. Hope this helps the next guy. It really looks great!

this place isn’t over priced. only saw one person with a hooke road bumper. i was happy. i’m happy about the product. easy install. did it all by myself it fits perfect.

Beautiful product, I get compliments almost everyday

Amazing fit fairly easy install. But please re configure the wire diagram for the sport model. The color coordination for the 23 sport is different than in directions. After several wiring scenarios for the drl, I got it to work. But other than that only other complaint would ne hardware. Those allen heads are horrible. They round out so easy. Star head would be way strong. Or deeper allen head. To shallow. To easy to round.

Good design

Running boards arrived in perfect order. Well packaged and all hardware enclosed. Easy to install and look great. Excellent addition to the 2025 Gladiator Nighthawk.

Ordered a set of these for my wife's new '25 Wrangler Willys with the Extreme Package (which includes 35" tires). Keep in mind that my wife is only 5'3" tall, so the standard rock rails that were on there didn't help her climb in, lol. Saw these online and really liked the look of them and the 'Since 1941" that is on the step plate ties in great with her '41 green color.
Install was fairly simple, but I highly recommend putting some tape over the carriage bolts when you put them into the steps before installing so they don't fall out because the bolts are a real pain to try and get in once the steps are on the Jeep. Aside from that, it took about 10-15 minutes on each side to take the old rock rails off and put the new steps on.
Really like the way the new steps look on the Jeep. They seem to be very well made and protective as well as pleasing to the eye. I would definitely recommend these steps and other products from Hooke Road

Great product, easy installation,well packaged and an awesome snug low profile fit!

Had 1 spot that was messed up but I don’t care I am gonna beat the crap out of this bumper…it’s nasty..

Rack went on pretty quick, only took about an hour. Love the length adjustability. The RTT and other accessories will go on later this week. For the price, heck of a deal! Can’t wait to put it to the test!

Got these after looking at basically all of them and these seems like they were the easiest to install…they are.

I tried two other brands and crappy shotty construction, did. It fit well and returned. Pulled the trigger on these and they took about 2 hours total including the ugly box chop on the passenger side. Also I’d suggest watching a few YouTube install videos and then follow the install instructions and keep every loose until all bolts are in and that’s it. Worth every penny and they look badass

Very fast shipping , great price and quality products. Installation was straightforward and simple with precise fitment . Very small blemish from shipping on one piece but easily touched up with spray bed liner . Wish I had more vehicles that needed bumpers.

This is my second purchase from Hooke Road being so impressed with the roof rack for my 07 Tacoma. I needed a bed rack that extended above the bed and Hooke Road is few who deliver this and do it to the quality no one can come close to. I had an issue with parts and Hooke Road held my hand all along the way and expedited them to me to complete the project. I will be buying more. Thank you

Was a good looking product, after I got them installed I started liking them more and more!
