Gods, what a terrible design

First, there are no instructions in the kit. Without the photos from other reviewers I would have no idea how to assemble this. And you will assemble it: It consists of three parts that you need four hands to assemble. It looks like the aim is to make it somewhat generic for all current Jeep models, but it only succeeds by being disappointing. The single bolt it's designed to attach to is so out of reach that you find yourself hunched over under the dash with one hand trying to unscrew the fixed 1/2-inch nut. Yes, that means you need a chopper that's long enough to give you leverage but short enough to fit under the dash between the brake pedal and the side panel - you've got about 3 inches of movement you can get there can pull out if anything. Bonus: You need a deep well head as the bolt is too long for regular heads. Knowing all of this in advance, you should be able to get it done in under an hour if you have the right tools on hand. Trial and error took about three.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • There are nuances
