      @Baker Rodney i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
      Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

    It's kinda fun to see someone else get frustrated when something breaks or does not work out like picture we have in our mind because I can totally relate. Been there and I know there are more unseen frustrating moments in my future. Hey, I can predict that with a crystal ball!!

    I too have this bumper and I like it. After 3-4 years it does rattle (lots of weight on a single pin) and I can't imagine that others brands that are built in a similar fashion don't also rattle. I never did trust the locking device on this bumper (though it has never failed) and that coupled with the rattles inspired me to add a stiffening mechanism that braces the bumper against itself using the 2" trailer hitch provision. The component is an inexpensive addition and it serves 3 purposes. 1. it eliminates ANY rattling. 2. it securely locks the swing out in place. 3. it provides security against theft by using a standard trailer hitch receiver lock. JRC does make a license plate holder that centers the plate within the spare tire. There are a couple of drawbacks both to the piece I added and the license plate holder. 1. my addition requires a 3/4" wrench to free up the swing out. 2. the JRC license plate holder needs to be disassembled to remove the spare. I enjoyed your video and do appreciate your family's service. I'm a vet myself from the late 60's.

    Not a bad tire carrier, nice and clean install. Would also be cool and see a roof rack install on the jeep. Would make that "Over land Jeep" come all together. Can't wait to see what comes next!

    Just off of this one video alone, you've earned yourself a new Subscriber. The videography was professional and my biggest pet peeve is the sound - or tone - or accent - and most definitely the 'speed' at which someone speaks. I actually watched your video from beginning to end, because it was not only interesting and informative, but also *easy* to listen to without getting annoyed a couple of minutes into it and simply going on to something else. Now - it's almost 5 years later, so you'll probably never even see 'my' commentary among 263 other comments at this time. But I felt it deserved a 'shout-out', regardless.
    On a scale of 1-5, I rate *this* video: 👊👊👊👊👊

    I wouldn't worry too much about the body lines, it's an off road rig after all. The first time out on the trail, all those body lines are going to change! lol The bumper looks great, nice job. Northridge has been a top notch retailer for a long time. Always with great customer service, prices, and quick shipping. I first ordered from them 10 years ago when I purchased my ARB lockers, lift parts, and a bunch of other stuff. I really like what you're doing with that XJ.

  • @Dingleberry69973
    @Dingleberry69973 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    i got this bumper shipper to Australia a long while ago and its good to see they changed somethings on it. The Zerk fitting for greasing is new and the swing arm bolt nut with the handle is new. All in all its a great bumper that has taken several rear end collisions without damage but i wish they would put a licence plate bracket in the kit and somewhere to mount the trailer electrical plugs.

  • @DorisandDaddyOffRoad
    @DorisandDaddyOffRoad 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great Video! We installed the same setup on our XJ a few years ago. The only thing I would add is that the whole setup is rather heavy. The weight with the spare, jack, and Jerry can was enough to sag our (admittedly cheap) leaf springs pretty significantly.

I ran through some challenges that it seems like you didn’t, but other than that your videos very convenient. Your video are super clear to see, hear and understand. I love how you keep the camera on a tripod. Thank you!!! Do you still have this XJ?

  • @ericmrobinson
    @ericmrobinson 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Brad, great video (as always) but I just installed this and I would recommend people steer clear of this product. Just like you, I had issues lining up the bumper to the body but that wasn't the worse part. When I installed the tire swing, the latch would not line up with the striker on the bumper. Even with the swing adjustment maxed out and the latch loosened and adjusted, it will not close. After a few emails with Smitty, they sent me another tire swing and told me to throw the one I have in the trash. I installed the new tire swing and with the adjustment maxed out and the swing fully loaded it finally latched properly. Now, since adjusting the latch (not the swing arm) down to align with the striker, it took the tension off the latch rod that attaches to the handle. Now, it will not open by pulling up on the latch. I have to stick my finger into the handle opening to unlatch it. To Smittybilt's credit, they issued me a full refund but told me once again to DISPOSE OF THE ONE I HAVE. It is still on my XJ but I will be replacing it as soon as I come across a good deal on another brand. Sorry for the long response but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case they are having the same issues as I did. Thanks again Brad for the great video!

    Based on your videos, I ordered the same front & back bumpers for my 01 XJ. Bone stock ,no rust, BUT, in dire need of mechanical upgrade. 4.5" rough country lift, 285/75-16 Mastercraft tires for the summer & Discoverer 265/75-16 M&S tires for winter. Love your videos as my son is very involved in this project.

    Hey Brad, still love your vids, always informative, always great production values too. Don't think I'll be doing a Jeep Cherokee XJ Overland, love my wrangler to much.... but what a great series of episodes! At the moment I'm laid up, post ankle surgery, so I just watched all of the XJ project!! Probably spend the next few days watching as many vids as I can..... trying to let all the commercials run thru, still hate that I can't give you a thumbs ip thru appleTV TH-cam, so I hopped on the lap top to get it done!
    Haven't done much yet to my Rubicon, just a Poison Spyder front bumper, a Proclip mount/bracketts for two iPhones and a GoPro & a yellow SpyderWebShade! I still intend to get over to Patreon, sooner or later.... Keep up the good work....

    • @TrailRecon

  • @Oldguy1900
    @Oldguy1900 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm sure this gentleman figured it out but for people that have just watch this, to keep the tire carrier from swinging closed on you just put a bolt in it to hold it.
    If you're installing one of these you'll understand when you look.

    @cebayne 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    6:00 He is exactly right! This is a VERY difficult install based on the nuts being welded to the bumper. Very bad call by Smittybilt. It was also very difficult getting the bolts in. Most of them would not screw in all while perfectly lined up. Lots of prayers got them in, but it took me all afternoon and evening, but I also did the install alone. Still is a great looking bumper tho!

  • @mykalbee
    @mykalbee 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Looks good! I was researching adventure trailers and I kept coming back to the Smittybilt because of my needs and the price until I found out they were made in China. I have seen some favorable reviews on YT so it appears my fears have been calmed a bit. I would be curious to hear how the welds of the recovery points on your bumper hold up to use and some down the road opinions of the tire swing gate and how its holding up after some off road use. Price of outfitting our rigs is a major factor and if some of the more budget options work well then I'm all for it. This project it coming together and I really like where your going with this XJ.

    I'm currently installing the same bumper on a 1999 XJ. You omitted a very important part of the install. How did you attach the front sections of the quarter planel plates? At the fender well there is a gap behind the front holes. The rivits definitely are not long enough to reach any holes you might drill behind there. Please let us know how you dealt with that issue! Thanks.

    I have the same bumpers on my 2000 XJ, how do you stop the true mount from rattling?

    I'm interested in this bumper for my xj, great video!! Do you have an idea where you will be locating the license plate? Interested in what plans you have.

      "Tomken Machine TMC-122" is what I'm using on my 2001 XJ...if you need some ideas.

      That's my concern as well. I need that plate visible or I'll be stopped before I get anywhere near a trail lol.

      Just an update. I was fortunate enough to get the bumper and tire carrier. It's a very good product and super strong. Also we went with that license plate relocation kit. Thank you for the suggestion. Super happy

    Grab a set of flair nut wrenches for those tight to reach bolts, they save your life lol

    You can fit gas cans in that carrier right? Did you use them for your wheeling?

    Can't see the license plate with the tire carrier. Did you change the plate location?

      I ended up mountain it in the center of the tire.
