I just ordered one and I’m not expecting perfection. I also plan to add some more gussets on the inside with some scrap plate steel I have laying around.
I bought the front and rear bumper from them, the mad max front bumper, it's solid, and bolted up fairly easy, my light pods were flushed, looked great, the packaging was solid, and nothing was getting to the bumper, I would buy them again.
Was looking at these - specifically because it's a winch mount AND keeps the 7-slot style, but made of solid steel. I'd pull the trigger on it if it didn't have the 'Angy Eye' aesthetic and didn't obstruct the OEM headlights.
I have the $580 combo set front and rear bumper from Hooke Road and they held up fantastically. A friend yanked the rear bumper with his jeep to pull me out of the snow very hard, held up great. I winched from the front and pulled me and his jeep from the front, that also held up really great. Highly recommend. I will say I fully agree with the packing issue and the lights not being perfectly symmetrical.
@@beardsandjeeps Thanks! I work law enforcement and about 2 weeks ago I worked a t-bone accident where a car turned in front of a JLU with a Hooke Road bumper. The car was in BAD shape, but the bumper barely had a scratch. I made the decision that I wanted one for my Tacoma and my YJ and my only concern was the long-term reviews. I appreciate your reply!
Anyone who says Hooke road isn’t legit is a fan boy to the overpriced overland products. Steel is steel and Hooke road has come a look way , especially when it comes to powder coating and design
BUYERS BEWARE , DO NOT BUY HOOKE ROAD BUMPERS , THEY COME DAMAGED ALMOST 100% OF THE TIME AND THEY SEND YOU BOGUS PARTS AND MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK IF YOU EVEN CAN ! NOT WORTH TAKING THE CHANCE
This wouldnt be hooke roads fault, this would be more of a damaged in shipping issue, anything thats big and heavy needs to be moved with a machine and sometimes the people in those machines either drop it, ram into it, or stacked it poorly on trailer, this can happen with any product from any manufacturer, as long as my product doesnt come in beat to hell, a few scratches and scrapes aint nothing
Also ive bought plenty of items where people left a review just like yours, and never had one single problem myself, either you werent paying attention when you placed your order, dont fully understand how the product works, didnt follow instructions or your expectations are a little too high , I’ve learnednot to pay attention to silly reviews like yours unless a whole army of people say the same thing, which isnt the case here

@@offroad1911 no lie. I did t have to gusset mine at all the steel was plenty thick to hold.

Great info! Im sold
How's that updated review coming?

Thoughts on these after a year?
They were great. Held up amazingly. I hit a rock hard with the back bumper and the brackets in the jeep bent. Not the brackets in the bumper

@@479_adv yeah. No worries. They are really great products. I was surprised at the durability. I expected low quality but was pleasantly surpised

I’m guessing that they addressed the packaging issue. I bought one for my Ram a few months back, and it came packaged very well with no damage.
I love my Hooke Road front bumper for my tundra
Just got one for $499 from Amazon for my sequoia.
Dump truck ruined my bumper and fled the scene.

False. You have issues. Hooke stuff is great!
This sounds like a shipping issue. Bought plenty from them and never had an issue
