Reviews: Rugged Ridge Off Road Jack Mounting Bracket (Black) - 11586.01

Its easy to install if you don't use your plastic hinge covers. Make sure you check the template first, holes don't match the bolt pattern. Use 3/4" to 1" drill for clearance. Once you get past that, its a breeze to install. Good solid mount that looks good.

Bought this mount and the smittybilt jack to go with it. Unlike it says in the questions section. That jack will not fit in this mount. It has a huge base plate.

Great product that is solid and sturdy. However, the installation instructions were confusing and not accurate. Once I figured it out it works and looks great!

The mount is very easy to install and provides good security. Works well. The only major draw back it that the bottom mount screw tends to loosen up and the jack rattles quite a bit. Would add a lock nut and a nub on the bracket to keep the jack from moving foward and rattling out of the back clip. That would stop the noise. The other issue is that it should be moved about a 1/2" over to the right. If the rear glass is up and the gate is closed the jack hits the glass. Could cause an issue.

This is a tough well thought out product with a few minor exceptions. The drilling of the hinge plates is not explained but without drilling, the hinge plates cannot be re-installed. The actual metal does not fit within the hinge bracket as shown but necessitates the use of the spacers. The spacers, washers, plastic hinge plates, and mounting bracket must all go on at once, so if you have three hands, or a helper that listens, this can be accomplished quite easily. Once the bottom bracket is installed, leaving the bracket loose, you must loosen the top hinge bracket and thereby loosing alignment of the gate. At this point you are in trouble, so leave the gate closed! Align and tighten the top bolts while lifting up on the mount. This will ensure your gate alignment will be pretty darn close. Tighten the remaining bolts and install your jack and lock and your done. Nice and tidy.

Actually my customer already had a jack mount just like this on his rig but we ordered it thinking this was a better unit. I corresponded thru email to try and get a return tag for this item but have seen no messages thru email. My name is Scott K. in parts department and email is skaser@larrygreen .us. Any help would be appreciated and thank you.

All the reviews I read said the instructions were awful, parts were hard to arrange, etc etc. took me thirty minutes with basic tools to install. I just left the hinge covers off in case I ever change my mind. Instructions were clear, logical and simple. Product seems sturdy. Jack fits. Doesn't rattle.

I had to 1/2 uninstall the lower bracket to install the bracket. You really need to figure it out because the instructions are so bad. I installed the lower bracket fully. Then installed the driver side of the upper bracket and loosely installed the passenger side of the upper bracket. I then undid the passenger side lower bracket and loosened the driver side lower bracket. I then re-installed the lower bracket with the bracket on it. This was hard to get the spacers behind the bracket and through the hole I had to drill in the cover. It was annoying, but in the end it was worth it, the installation looks great.

I am real happy with the mounting bracket.Easy to Uses Dont have to bend over to get to your Jack, and you can lock it. Witch is nice to know it will be there when you return. GREAT PRODUCT.
