I recently bought the Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier and the HR Discovery I Front Bumper with Winch Plate & LED’s. I chose these products for my 1995 Jeep YJ Wrangler because of the price, the good looks AND they already had LED lights built in. Here are the pro’s and con’s:

Pros: Even though my YJ is 30 years old, the fitment of both bumpers was right on! I did not have to make any modifications to the frame mounts for either to fit properly. I really like the finish – almost like bed liner. The rear tire mount works very well and looks great. The built in LED lights were also a huge selling point – I wanted the added benefit of LED’s, but didn’t want any ugly driving lights or light bars hanging off the bumpers or Jeep. I did integrate the rear bumper lights into my backup light circuit – they work great.

Cons: Both bumpers came with shipping damage. They had holes in their boxes, which lead to damage to the products. The rear bumper has some scratches and a small section of the finish missing from one of the corners. The front bumper had a lower tab bent, which cracked the finish. As for the rear tire mount, I had to add some shims to the latch to keep the rack from rattling when driving. Also, I don’t think the thickness of the metal on the front bumper winch plate will support a winch under a load – it is thin. If I add a winch in the future, I will have to reinforce the winch plate and attach the enforcement to the frame.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the looks and performance of both bumpers.

Love the look and to get rid of the plastic and thin stock front bumper. Just had to trim down the splash guard a little and tucked it in

Nice set of fender liners, very easy to install, look great. 2011 Wrangler JK Rubicon 2D

The shipping was great and fast, but FedEx was a bit rough on the box. The box was worn in a couple of places, and the paint chipped due to that.

Fit and finishook great. Actual install on the bronco? It's gorgeous.

The fitment of the parking sensors are a little wonky. I am hunting down gremlins getting them to respond properly when in reverse.

Overall, I am happy.

I hunt a lot and needed the extra capacity to carry additional gear in my JL. Easy to install. I also purchased one for my son for his JL. Great product!

Just purchased and installed the spare tire utility basket on my ‘17 Sahara Unlimited with 34” tires.
Installation:
When it says best to use two people, do so. It comes together easily enough, but once you install it, you really need two people to balance it well enough to tighten it all down evenly. Once on, it’s good to go.
Function:
I loaded about 60lb of luggage on the rack. Drive 1500 miles from Gulf South to Blue Ridge Mtns. Drive in heavy rain up. Drove Deals Gap (Dragons Tail) for those not familiar, 318 curves in 11 miles at elevation up and down. Then drove off-road. Then back to the Gulf South.
Rack didn’t budge. Held everything tight. Very happy with it.
I did have a wee bit of trouble With the Rotax 2 gallon cans fitting on but that’s an adjustment and got them on.
Overall, a bit of a pain getting it on but once on, worked great. And I put it through some torture. I’m very happy with it.

This is the 3rd Hooke Road product I have bought and have been very satisfied. My only complaint is the installation instructions could have had more detailed pictures. Using the QR code was better but still lacking.

Received my side steps fairly quickly and got to unboxing and preparing for install. Installation was a breeze even as a one man job with use of jackstands. I would and have recommended these to friends of the 4x4 community! Great addition to my HookeRoad bumper previously purchased. (Photo included)

These inner fenders linears were easy to assemble and install, and fit my 2015 Jeep Wrangler JKU perfectly.

Had to relocate the power steering cooler to bolt the bumper on. Winch has to be installed on bumper before installing bumper. The license plate bracket is cool and allows your license plate to rotate out of the way when winching. My bumper either was built out of square or damaged in shipping, as no matter what is done it is not level with the underside of the fender I was able to bend one side to make it fit better. The center section seems to be pretty solid but I question how well the sides would handle a serious impact. Overall a pretty good quality aftermarket bumper and the price is great.

I ordered these drop step side bars for our new 2024 Bronco. We have the Sasquatch package and my wife needed something to make it easier for her to get in. I am happy we chose this item, it has a quality feel to the construction, and they add to the look of the Bronco. Installion was a breeze as these mount right to factory mounting holes with provided hardware. I cannot speak to how they will truly hold up as we have only had them a.couple weeks. However they do seem to be well designed and constructed, with quality material.

I received my exterior Molle panels and installed them on my 4Runner easily with the instructions provided. I made an adjustments on the suction cup portion of it in order to pull them off of the glass a little further by using washers. This fix made them fit even better. I am thrilled to have them on my rug.

I just installed the utility basket and so far it’s pretty solid and secure. We added 2 gallon RotopaX on each side and the fit is on point.

Not a bad unit only one or two things that made me scratch my head and say why.

I absolutely love these fenders. They make my Jeep JK look tremendously better and also really like the metal as opposed to the factory plastic and the LED lights look clean and stylish.

These liners are fantastic and make an incredible difference to the look of my Jeep.

Great fender liners but wish they were packed better to not be a little scratched up out the packaging. Also could have better instructions.

I have a canopy camper on a Gladiator. I cannot use a full rack. Can't use a half rack either. Looked at this one for awhile since there isn't an option out there short of just roof rails. I took a chance and cut 16" off the rear. I now have a super short rack which extends slightly over my freedom panels yet secures to the rear rain channels. Had to add one of the cross slats to the front and relocate all 4 of the brackets. but it works, is solid, and looks good. Should be 4 stars due to need to modify. 5 stars because an idiot like me could make it work with just a reciprocating saw and some bed liner spray! Now all I have to do is remove another inch +/- .25" so that I can get the Freedom Panels off. Super close but not quite there. I could get them off with some effort and forcing which would risk scratching. No. I shall use my handy saw and adjust later! LOL

What more can you ask for great quick customer service good quality products that fit with out any modifications and the best part is that it’s reasonably price

A friend installed my new bumper/grill guard today and it looks great! I hadn’t seen one like this before and love the design. After hitting a deer earlier this year which caused significant damage to the front of my Jeep, I was looking for something that would give me added protection to the front and I think this is perfect. It took a little while to get it assembled but it seems very sturdy. At this point we don’t have a winch but I love that we can easily add one later. Very pleased with my purchase.

Easy installation. Instructions were easy to follow. Fit and finish were great. Much easier than the front liners. Would definitely recommend. Can’t beat the price!!!

Install went great. Improved looks and entering jeep. Getcha one...

These bars look great on the Bronco. The finish is great and they arrived in perfect condition. Having first read other reviews, I started the install with the rear difficult connection point. Had both sides installed in under 25 mins. I will buy from Hooke again!

I do like them a lot good and easy to bolt on but not strong enough to use as actual rock sliders I ended up having to weld them to the frame to get the support I needed but once I had them welded on But once I had them welded on and bolted on they had the strength then needed and worked amazing so buck for buck 100% would recommend but I also recommend tieing them to the frame for more support
