Reviews for Quadratec JL-LMB Heavy-Duty Auxiliary Light Mount Brackets for 18-25 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT
Haven’t even installed these yet. Couldn’t tell in the pictures if they were sturdy or not but then I took them out of the box… they’re beast! Also glad to hear you don’t have to do any drilling like the mopar ones. I’m a fan.
No cutting or drilling!!! Had to turn the bolts around and have the lock nuts towards the bumper ( backwards from the directions/pictures). I have the 4 cylinder and the heat exchanger was in the way. Flipping bolts around was for the best.
These brackets are fantastic! I was looking for a way to add trail lights without a) sacrificing folding the windshield b) purchasing a steel bumper or c) drilling into my plastic bumper or frame, and this is the solution.
Very sturdy product, does exactly what it needs to do . Much tighter fit on 24 and newer JL as the bar it attaches to is very close to radiator. The screws just about touches the radiator when tightened and are very difficult to tighten and get tool behind it. Be patient when installing, well worth it.
Good design overall. Used this on a Sahara plasto bumper and it came out nice. Just the supplied bolts if you are not careful and over tighten the lower ones can make contact and scuff up your radiator fins. In my case, I eye balled a tad off and took some paint off while adjusting the thing horizontally. Apart from that, ya, this thing totally works well.
Great
Please update your instructions! If you have the towing package the bolt have to go in from the back with the nuts in the front. The extra coolers are in the way to be able to tighten any bolts from the back. This would have been a 5 if the instructions were better. The actual product is great!
Solid, sturdy hardware that will probably outlive the vehicle. For my 2021 JL, I had a bit of a struggle to put them on until I figured out that you need to reverse the nuts/bolts (bolts feed through back to front....not the other way around, despite what the directions say). Then, they went on easily. VERY happy with this product.
Sturdy mounting bracket and super great that it is made in USA but this Aux. light bracket will not work on a 2021 JLU if you have a Winch mounted in the Bumper, like in the stock Mopar Steel bumper on a Rubicon. Bracket hits the winch even at the widest possible mounting locations. Fitment shows that it fits 2021 JLUs but does not specify that does not fit is a winch is mounted.
Well built product,
HOWEVER!!
It is nearly impossible to fit onto a model with multiple radiator coil stacks such as a 2023 High Tide. One of the radiators had to be unscrewed, shifted up, and it still did not have sufficient clearance to articulate the mount behind the support bar unless you forcefully push the middle radiator back in the process. This should be mentioned in the product description.
Definitely see how many radiator stacks you have before purchasing.
