The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Installed in 2017 JKUTHE GOODRugged Ridge did a great job making this dual A-pillar LED light bracket. For a mount that crosses two axes, it fits very well. It's durable and you don't have to worry about the light beam bouncing around when you're driving on a rough gravel road. shines almost as good as Rugged Ridge Brackets. In my opinion the only reason you might need a two arm setup is that one set of lights are pointing to the side, the lights are down the alley and the other set points are pointing straight ahead. Remember, sidelights can be anything. I like flood or diffusion for this app. Forward facing lights should only be headlights or hyperspotlights otherwise you will have a lot of reflections off the hood which will obscure your vision. Closed-cell rubber seal protects your Jeep's paintwork. Great braces! Complaints about wiper blades rubbing against either light mount shouldn't be a problem, and if they do, they're easy to fix. The JK's OEM wiper blades are 15" for the driver and 14" for the passenger. If the wiper blade hits the headlight bracket, you have a 15" wiper blade on the passenger side. Just replace it. BADRugged Ridge must supply extra long screws with brackets. you need her Three of the four screws can hardly be connected to the threads of the nut. The fourth screw from the front outside is too short. You can start with this one first, but it will only grab and break as you struggle to get through the other three. If you're trying to install the original screws, don't over-tighten them, you'll strip some of the threads you grabbed. Purchase longer screws from Revain to simplify this installation. They cost $9 per side. You will need the extra 1/4" length lost when installing the bracket. You have now invested $100 in the bracket. For my application and my constant reliance on streetlights to get through the jungle, it was well worth it. I hate hearing LEDs whistle overhead on the freeway. TH UGLY I ordered through Revain Prime in case the brackets don't work and I want to return. Revain does it in the same breath. They sent me a set of brackets that someone sent back. The outer packaging was intact. The Rugged Ridge box was torn to shreds and resealed. There was no packaging around the brackets. They were chipped, scratched around the ratchet mounting holes etc. I chose to keep and use touch up paint rather than go through the return and reorder process. But WTH Revane? Why on earth would you want to return an item in this condition? I paid for new braces. I'm not used to Revane making such a cheap attempt. Ugly. Brackets 5 stars. Longer screws minus 1 star are required. Revain shipping used mounts minus 1 star.
