1999 - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ Hidden Winch Mount

Kratos - The Tire Carrier designed for

WJ - 1999 to 2004 Grand Cherokee
WK - 2005 to 2010 Grand Cherokee (your hatch will sit 1/4" higher when shut after installing the new struts. The hatch operates, latches and seals as designed but it will sit 1/4" higher when closed. If you can live with that,then order. If it's going to bother you please do not order).
XJ-Tight fit and clearance through the narrow XJ gaps in the body panels. You may have to grind down the tire carrier at the edges if you find any part rubbing against the body. Once installed and verified all the edges all clear, it works as designed. 
ZJ - 1993 to 1998 models. The upper mounting holes on top of hatch need to be drilled out to 9/16th. The fitment of the carrier is tight and narrow on the top bolts. Once drilled, youll use a small pry bar to assist in getting the nuts on. 

ATTENTION!!! Placing your rear tire on the back (hatch) of your vehicle causing an obstruction of rear-view may not meet your local State Vehicle Codes along with blocking your third brake light. Please check your local vehicle codes before placing an order. Buyer assumes all financial responsibility. It would be wise to purchase a 3rd brake light which mounts in the wheel well. Companies such as 4 Wheel Parts sell third brake lights.

Our tire carrier involves brute strength, power and force from the custom built struts  to raise that heavy offroad tire into the air. There for, with all that brute strength, power and force, we call our tire carrier "Kratos - The Tire Carrier".

In Greek Mythology.  Cratos was a son of the Titan Pallas (not to be confused with PallasAthena) and the goddess Styx. He was the personification of strength and power. The name is derived from the common noun Κράτος, meaning "force", "strength", or "power". The spellings "Cratus" and "Kratos" are also used.

Uncle Joe, weighing in at 184 pounds sits on top of his 97-lbs 35" tire all mounted to the Kratos. Excellent location to fish in the river from if we may say so...

Our WK / XK Hidden WInch Mount Fits all models and bumpers from 2005 to 2010 including diesels (CRD). If you are a CRD Diesel WK owner, you're probably asking yourself how is that possible? We have done plenty of research from the V6 models, V8 HEMI to the CRD Diesel models. We've taken all measurements necessary and designed the winch plate to mount in front of the Diesel inter-cooler. The 2005 - 2007 model bumpers are 1" narrower than the 2008 to 2010 bumpers. With this in mind, we designed our winch plate with the ability to mount for all model years. We got this!

• 1/4" Steel plate all-around designed as heavy duty with reinforcements for heavy vertical and horizontal loads, mounts under the frame rail and onto the side frame rail with the provided hardware and backing plates. 
• Winch plate replaces the 16-gauge sgeet-metal box in front of the condensor / radiator. 
• Available with or with-out shackle tabs. 
• Winch plate designed specifically to be compatible with all years and bumpers on V6, V8 Hemi and Diesel engines

The Shackle Tab is constructed of 3/4" thick x 7" length Grade-50 Steel and is welded to the 1/4" plate all around. The shackle tab has a 7/8" hole for 3/4" Rated D-Ring Shackles with 7/8" pins. These are the same shackle tabs we use on all our recovery points.

Grade 50 is a high strength, low alloy steel that finds its best application where there is need for more strength per unit of weight. Less of this material is needed to fulfill given strength requirements than is necessary with regular carbon steels.

Grade 50 is used in general plate applications when the plate will be riveted, bolted, or welded. Grade 50 is a Columbium-Vanadium steel that offers a minimum yield of 50,000 PSI. In addition, ASTM A572 Grade 50 is noted for its increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Grade 50 contains more alloying elements than plain carbon steel and thus is somewhat more difficult to form. Grade 50 is more difficult to cold work, but can be successfully bent or shaped but requires more force than plain carbon steel. Our shackle tabs are heated to a minimum of 150 degrees Fahrenheit prior to welding. 

ASTM A572 Grade 50 is considered a "workhorse" grade and is widely used in many applications. Steel mills produce channel and heavy beams with Grade 50. It is commonly used in structural applications, heavy construction equipment, building structures, heavy duty anchoring systems, truck frames, poles, liners, conveyors, boom sections, structural steel shapes, and applications that require high strength per weight ratio.

Constructed from 14-gauge Steel and bent to match the contour of the lower ashtray, this switch panel replaces your ashtray panel. Select between my design which has eight switch cut-outs with or without three holes for USB/12-Volt/Battery Voltage etc or select CUSTOM to request custom size holes. 

You are purchasing the panel ONLY in bare steel ready to paint. We do not include switches. There are so many rocker switches available from Amazon including Heated Seats, Winch Switches, lights etc. Just visit amazon and type Rocker Switch in the search bar. 

One very important detail: these plates are plasma cut on a plasma cnc. Plasma is basically a flame melting through the metal. The cuts are not 100% perfect like laser or waterjet cutting. The cuts will also have a 1/16th +/- tolerance. Custom cut panels are cut to your request and custom measurement if you are requesting different size holes than what we have drawn. We provide a proof of the drawing for your approval to cut. There are no returns or refunds on custom cut panels. Please order only if you understand and agree.

These struts are not the stuff you buy from ebay, amazon or your local parts store. These struts are serious beef and last a very long time. These are custom built and you'll receive a text from us after ordering. We will build them to the amount of pressure you'll need depending on what you would like to attach to the rear hatch, like jerry cans, high lift jacks etc. If you are not planning on attaching anything on the hatch and just need something more reliable then we will build them with factory spec pressure. 

These are built in batches. Requires two weeks lead time to ship. 

Portable Fire Pits by HK Offroad

We often light camp fires from our backyard gathering, dispersed camping (where allowed) and at developed camp sites with-out fire pits. 

Every time we camp, we're usually up till about 2am until only a hand-full of people remain around the camp-fire. At that time all the logs are burned and all you see is bright hot red amber in the fire pit. That's when we take out the lamb chops, beef filet kebabs or even spicy marinated chicken wings and place them over the remaining camp fire giving us the best last meal of the evening before calling it a night. 

Kit Includes: Fire pit ONLY in bare steel which consists of the four walls and base plate covering the bottom of the fire pit. Ready to setup and put some logs on fire. No skewers, no carrying case. 

Key Reasons the HK Fire Pit was created;

• Lightweight and portable design as it collapses for transport with interlocking plates
• Sets up in 15-seconds
• Skewer slots on top of pit for cooking using stainless steel skewers, or Viking swords to cook Dinosaur meat, you decide (skewers not provided)
• Keeps the area cleaner than stacking rocks in a round pile
• Efficient air flow for a continues burn
• 14-gauge steel construction
• Arrives bare steel. We don't like paint on our fire pits. because we cook on them

***IMPORTANT***Campfire Safety Information - Provided by ReserveAmerica.com

Enjoying the pop and hiss of a glowing campfire—not to mention the light and warmth that the fire provides—is one of the most enjoyable parts of camping. But building campfires comes with responsibility. A campfire that is not properly built, maintained and extinguished can quickly become a hazard to the people, animals and land around it. In the United States, people start nearly nine out of 10 wildfires. It's important to understand how to safely and responsibly enjoy your campfire.

These are the top 10 must-know tips for campfire safety.

1. Know the rules

Before you strike a match, make sure you know the fire regulations of the campground or wilderness area in which you are planning to build a fire. Fire rules change, and a campground that allowed campfires the last time you visited my have a temporary ban on them if the risk of wildfires is high. Pay attention to posted signs and check the ranger’s station for current campfire regulations.

2. Use the pit

Most campgrounds provide a fire pit or fire ring in which to build a campfire. If a pit is provided, this is the only place you should build a campfire. If you're in a remote area where campfires are allowed but a pit is not provided, use our fire pit in an open area away from overhanging branches, power lines or other hazards that could catch on fire. Once you decide on where to light the fire pit, ensure there is a ten-foot area around the pit that is cleared of anything that could catch on fire.

3. Build a safe campfire

Once your pit is in place, build a safe campfire. Start the fire with dried leaves or grass that will easily catch fire. Next, add kindling, small twigs and sticks that are less than an inch in diameter. As the fire builds, add the largest pieces of wood to the fire. They will keep the fire burning for a longer period of time and provide heat. Keep in mind that your fire does not have to be roaring. A small fire will produce plenty of heat for both cooking and warmth.

4. Mind the match

Start your campfire with a match and then make sure it is completely extinguished before disposing of it. Pour water over the match or throw it directly into the fire to burn. Never use lighter fluid, gas, kerosene or other flammable liquids to start a fire.

5. Use local firewood

Though it may not be apparent to the naked eye, tree-killing insects and diseases can live on firewood. If you’re going camping six hours down the road and decide to bring firewood from home you could, without knowing it, transport insects and diseases and inadvertently introduce them into the forests where they weren’t found before. That’s why it’s so important to use local firewood. Local is defined as the closest convenient source of firewood that you can find. If possible, pick up firewood from the campground camp store or a nearby location.

6. Keep water handy

Don’t start a campfire without having a bucket of water and a shovel nearby. The water can be used to douse any runaway flames and the shovel can be used to throw sand or dirt on any flames that jump the perimeter of your fire pit.  It’s also smart practice to keep a few feet of ground outside of your fire ring watered down, so if a stray ember or flame jumps outside of your fire pit, it won’t gain any traction.

7. Pay attention to the wind

A strong breeze can spread your fire in an instant. To make sure a sudden gust of wind doesn’t turn your campfire into a wildfire, keep anything flammable, including unused firewood, upwind and at least 15 feet away from the fire. The 15-foot rule also goes for your tent and clothing hung to dry.

8. Be careful with kids and pets

It’s not just the risk of forest fires that you need to be mindful of while camping. Campfires are the leading cause of children’s camping injuries in the United States. Teach your kids about the danger of fire and don’t allow children or pets around the campfire unless they are on an adult’s lap. Teach kids how to stop, drop and roll in the event that their clothes catch on fire.  

9. Never leave a campfire unattended

A campfire should not be left alone, even for one minute. A small breeze can spread fire quickly, so there should be at least one set of eyes monitoring the fire at all times. Even if you’re leaving the fire for a short period of time, like to take a quick hike, the fire should be completely extinguished. You’ll be able to restart it once you return.

10. Put the fire out properly—every time

When you are done with your campfire make sure it is extinguished properly. Dump water on the fire, stir the ashes with a shovel, then dump more water on the fire. The campfire should be cold before you leave it unattended. If it is too hot to touch, then it is too hot to leave. Large logs will be more difficult to extinguish than smaller logs so make sure they are also soaked with water. Check for hidden burning embers underneath. And never bury coals from the fire—they can smolder and start to burn again.

The Tacoma's frontend is good looking from factory and there's so much room behind the factory bumper fascia. Not all of us "need" a full steel bumper. There's a feeling of ease and comfort knowing you are ready for self recovery incase you should get the truck stuck somewhere. Designed and engineered by folks who understand the needs of rigidity and durability in a recovery situation because not all recovery situations are a simple "I'll winch forward" scenario. With the Tacoma's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 5,600lbs, there's no room for underbuilt recovery equipment. Our hidden winch mount tucks neatly behind the factory bumper fascia keeping your winch away from the elements. Designed for 12,500lbs+ winches but any winch with less pulling power can be mounted. We recommend 12,500lbs winch minimum for your Tacoma.

Jeep Grand Cherokee WK "StreetSweeper 2" Stubby Hidden Winch Mount with Radiator Core Support Replacement Skid Plate, also compatible with Jeep Commander XK

Available in Two Variations

• Standard: Winch Mount w/ Shackle tabs and Flat Plate Radiator Skid Plate - No Tubes. Replaces Radiator Core Support
• Deluxe: Winch Mount w/ Shackle Tabs and Flat Plate Radiator Skid Plate with eight DOM Tubes

 Fits all models and bumpers from 2005 to 2010 including diesels (CRD). If you are a CRD Diesel WK owner, you're probably asking yourself how is that possible? We have done plenty of research from the V6 models, V8 HEMI to the CRD Diesel models. We've taken all measurements necessary and designed the winch plate to mount in front of the Diesel inter-cooler. The 2005 - 2007 model bumpers are 1" narrower than the 2008 to 2010 bumpers. With this in mind, we designed our winch plate with the ability to mount for all model years. We got this!

• 1/4" Steel plate all-around designed as heavy duty with reinforcements for heavy vertical and horizontal loads, mounts under the frame rail and onto the side frame rail with the provided hardware and backing plates.  
• Lower Radiator Core Support Skid Plate constructed from 1/4" plate and eight 1.5" x .098 DOM Tubes
• Built with shackle tabs. 
• Winch plate designed specifically to be compatible with all years and bumpers on V6, V8 Hemi and Diesel engines
• Mounts to your vehicle using ten bolts; 5 Bolts on each side (three bolts under frame rail, 2 bolts on side of frame rail). All required hardware included. 
• Bolt on Kit mounts behind your factory bumper cover (bumper fascia) - Retains factory look. Requires simple cutting of plastic bumper to allow room for steel plate (see photos). We cut our bumper using a dremel tool and provide samples of the cuts in the installation instructions. Cutting off of the lower bumper portion is required since this bumper replaces your radiator core support. 
• Easy installation can be done by anyone with basic power tool skills.
• Hand Made in the U.S.A. in our shop
• Does not restrict air-flow to your radiator like other winch mounts
• Does not extend the front end of your Jeep
• The 1/4" Steel Plate Winch Mount will replace the thin sheet metal box on front of your radiator. You are required to cut this box out using a power cutting tool such as a sawzall. This part is also known as cross-member, might also be also known as frame rails.

D-Ring Shackle Mounts:

3/4" thick, solid steel shackle tabs welded thoroughly to winch mount and frame rail mounting plates.

Constructed of Grade-50 Steel

One piece design extends from the WJ's frame rail to the front face-plate of the winch mount

One piece design provides stronger towing points during winching or towing by rope

Built to take a beating against the rocks

All of the above mentioned parts are welded together for one solid piece design. This is the ultimate setup to build your own bumper from. 

Our radiator skid plate is called "The GateKeeper" because it acts as a gate between the rocks and your radiator support bar/radiator. The GateKeeper III is a variation of the original design with-out the 1.5" bars. Compatible with HK Overland and Krawler Bumpers, Hidden Winch Mounts and/or as a stand alone skid plate for your radiators core support. You know...that thin piece of sheet metal you bent while Offroad, the thing your radiator sits on... yeah that thing.

• The skid plate is constructed from 1/4" x 4" plate which runs across from left to right and curves up and bolts to bumper plate with two 3/8" x 1" Grade-8 bolts on each side. 
• Heavy duty design built to take a beating against the rocks
• Compatible with HK Offroad Bumpers, winch mounts and stand alone. Not compatible behind plastic bumper fascia. If you would like to modify it to mount to a different bumper, it can be done as long as your current bumper has a flat bottom plate - see photos
• Comes fully primered and painted ready to install.
• Grade-8 Serrated-Flang Nuts and Bolts Included

Description

Through testing and banging on a few rocks we came to learn that the radiator support bar on the WJ is made of bread. Literally, thin sheet metal which can be damaged and moved by the slightest impact. We have redesigned our radiator skid plate a few times since our Overland Bumper release in December and have finally come to a design that is satisfactory and actually serves a purpose. 

With our bumpers providing the perfect approach angle and strong mounting points, which reach all the way back near the sway bar bolts, it was imperative the radiator skid plate served a purpose as equal to the bumper. 

The actual skid plate which covers the bottom of the radiator support bar is made of 1/4" steel plate by 4" wide. The plate bends around and up the radiator support bar to reach our bumper and it mounts to the bumper. This mounting supports the underside of the skid plate for impacts where the Jeep falls from an obstacle onto an object such as a rock.

The GateKeeper III weighs approximately 20 pounds.

-------------------------------

The plastic lower door cladding on the WJ Laredo model is... let's be frank, it's just a plain eye sore. Replace the plastic cladding with our steel lower door armor kit. These lower door panels are NOT meant to stop a boulder from crushing your door if you happen to slam into one. They're meant to replace the ugly cladding on the Laredo models. Best part about it other than looks and protection; if you scratch it, it can be removed, sanded and repainted for a new look at any given time and it's easier to resurface/repaint this panel instead of repairing your door.

Grade 50 is a high strength, low alloy steel that finds its best application where there is need for more strength per unit of weight. Less of this material is needed to fulfill given strength requirements than is necessary with regular carbon steels.

Grade 50 is used in general plate applications when the plate will be riveted, bolted, or welded. Grade 50 is a Columbium-Vanadium steel that offers a minimum yield of 50,000 PSI. In addition, ASTM A572 Grade 50 is noted for its increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Grade 50 contains more alloying elements than plain carbon steel and thus is somewhat more difficult to form. Grade 50 is more difficult to cold work, but can be successfully bent or shaped but requires more force than plain carbon steel. 

ASTM A572 Grade 50 is considered a "workhorse" grade and is widely used in many applications. Steel mills produce channel and heavy beams with Grade 50. It is commonly used in structural applications, heavy construction equipment, building structures, heavy duty anchoring systems, truck frames, poles, liners, conveyors, boom sections, structural steel shapes, and applications that require high strength per weight ratio.

Hardware:
All required Grade-8 mounting hardware is included. 

Finish:
Arrives Bare Steel.

Installation:
Very simple. Bolt on application

Installation:
Remove front bumper, insert frame rail sandwich plates into frame rails, bolt up hitch receiver using provided hardware. Go out and play, get stuck, recover yourself.

The Challenge: To build a one piece high clearance rock slider which will protect the body side panels, are true flat bottom sliders with no obstruction, are full steps, have high-lift jacking points, is body mounted and are just as strong, durable and rigid as frame-welded sliders. Does that make sense or should we type it again? You probably just did a double take...

We are honored and pleased to say our "Glissade Extreme" one piece rock sliders for the JKU passed our torture test and are now in production. All the body side panels and body-to-frame mounts are plasma cut and the 2" x 6" x 1.88 wall tubes are hand built in our shop. 

• One piece design with 19 mounting points 
• Thirteen riv-nuts and bolts attach the body side panel to the body
• Three 3/8" thick plates welded to the slider mounts to the body-to-frame mounts
• Four additional bolts mount the Jeeps body pinch seam to the inside of the slider for additional support. 
• The body side panel is constructed of 3/16" plate and the 2x6 slider is constructed of 2" x 6" x .188 wall tubes and welded together for a one-piece design with seven 3/16" cold rolled gussets welded and supporting the slider and body panel for added impact support when you come down hard on the edge of the slider. 
• Double tapered ends to help you slide up and over obstacles.
• After testing and bouncing this JK on 40's off the boulders on John Bull Trail was passed, we removed the slider from the Jeep to inspect any body damage; no damage found. The sliders protected the Jeeps body and our body mounted design saved you from having to weld sliders to your frame.
