I love my new Hookie bumper. Easy installation

Okay here is my review. To start off I looked at many different options for my build. From the low end to the high priced kit, like CBI, C4 and custom orders.
As I worked out my priorities I found that Gears and Lockers were at the top of my list. This maters because that’s an $8,000 to $9,000 dollar price for 5.29 gears and ARB air Lockers. With that as my priority I need to save money where I could. I knew the $4,000 dollar for a top end bumper and swing out was not in my budget, so I started researching other options, This brings us to this review.
I found Hook Road and they had just the swing out I was looking for, in my budget with Jerry can carrier. So I made my order and was feeling good about my decision. Then I happened to mention to a couple guys at work about my order, they convinced me I had made a terrible mistake. I tried to cancel my order so I wouldn’t be the guy who bought something terrible. Too late to cancel the order. Hooke Road had super fast shipping! Well the two big boxes showed up In front of my house, I thought well crap, so I got a hand truck and put them in the garage.
I was kinda discouraged, so I left them there unopened for a couple weeks. I just didn’t want to deal with it. Well time passed and I got a little time, so I opened the boxes. To my surprise the packaging was very good, nothing loose or damaged.
As I removed the interior packaging I discovered nice looking kit, I thought wow. Good job Hooke Road.
So now I was excited for my build again. I stripped off my old bumper and installed the new one. After the bumper was installed I thought wow great job Hooke Road, on looks it was great. Then I began to install the swing out it went together like, almost easy. Once I had the swing on, I thought fantastic job Hooke Road, looks awesome. So I’m standing there looking at the new kit on old Blue I was kinda scratching my head going what am I missing, why the hate? Great value, good quality, works great, coating was good and looks fantastic. As I stood there looking at it I just started smiling to myself.
I owe Hooke Road an apology, this was an amazing pice of kit, thank you Hooke Road!
Follow up everything is holding up great, I have a “ 285-75 R 16 tire mounted on the back zero issue, the swing works perfectly.
A couple of points. 1 you will need to reuse your factory bumper brackets. 2 be very careful when putting the swing arm together lock tight your components.
The swing will be a little high for the lock until you add your tire weight.
The bumper came in on time, and on budget, very happy with this order.
Great kit, thank you Hooke Road! 🤩

I love the bumper but after wiring and testing before bolting it on, they all work great. I then bolted it on and the two driver side lights went out on me. I tried emailing the company but it won’t go through. So frustrated bc i was so excited to have this on and working. Is there an option to buy just the two LED lights? Ugh please help. [****]

I purchased this mid width front bumper for my 2021 jeep wrangler JL. It fits very well seems to be good quality came with all the bolts and hardware I like the width and the way it lets the winch sit low and not blocking the grill. Very satisfied with my choice and it looks great on my jeep. I’ll be purchasing a rear bumper soon.

Purchased a set of Nerf Bars for my wife’s Bronco. They look great, easy to order, easy to install, and shipping is fast…

Packaged well. Installation was easy for one person to do. Love the aggressive look it gives the Gladiator.

Easy assembly instructions.
Very good quality of welding ans powder coating.

Great product, would 10/10 recommend. The installation wasn’t hard at all. Came with no deficiencies. I’m really happy with the outcome especially considering the price I paid!!

This bumper is heavy duty and so worth the money. It’s definitely a two person job to install and some areas needed a little persuasion. Any snags we ran into were not a surprise after reading the reviews. I did buy the mounting brackets for extra strength. I LOVE the look and the quality is top notch.

Got these for my 2025 Ford Bronco Badlands- these sit high, close to the body trim when mounted, which is exactly what I was looking for! I didn’t realize it when I purchased, but the middle of the steps show ‘since 1966’- nice addition for the Broncos! Very pleased with this purchase and makes my Badlands look rugged.

Nothing to fancy, nothing to bulky just right for a front bumper and it looks nasty after a few times looking at it in the end and especially when walking to your RIG

Very happy with the bumper

Easy installation. Will need a second person to lift onto roof. Very pleased. Product is sturdy and strong.

Bars are very well constructed & we absolutely love how they look. Textured finish is nice. Very simple to install & everything lined up well. Quite a bit cheaper than some of the others out there.

I wanted one of these bumpers for a while. After hitting a deer I decided my Barricade bumper was up to the challenge. Install was easy. I assembled it in 2 sections. So Install would be simple. Dont quite know if I trust the bolt together design but if I want I can weld it.
