Exactly as advertised and look heck for stout!
Exactly as expected for install, keeping the OEM hooks was a bit more work than I expected though
Keith S.
My towbar pin is very sloppy in your bracket. I will have to redo your bracket to tow my vehicle.
Jeff G.
I have been wanting this kit for a while now, really wanted to keep factory front bumper. This was the only kit that I am aware of that that gets rid of crash cans, and I get the D-ring shackle recovery points that I wanted. Everything about the HK Offroad kit is perfect, everything is super heavy duty. Fit perfectly, now my front bumper is complete, get a lot of compliments!
Levia H.
Putting a winch on our 2024 Gladiator Mojave and decided those tow/recovery hooks that attach to the frame are the best choice to use.
Brad G.
I haven’t tried to tow my jeep from the RV yet, but the set up seems solid. I ordered it unpainted and tried myself so I need to clean it up a bit. I did not realize it took so long to receive the order, just be prepared. They did respond promptly when I inquired about the delivery.
Phillip O.
i love the way the product looks. But i had the absolute toughest time getting these installed. Most of it was good and went well. But when it came time to mount the bumper back onto the vehicle. I struggled with getting the bolt studs to line up onto the frame. Fought with it for hours. A 2 hour project, turned into a 12+ hour ordeal. But finally got it on. However, it was not easy, and I feel one or 2 of the studs might have damaged threads from fighting with it so much.
Jared M.
The installation went pretty smooth and all mounting points aligned very well.
William W.
Excellent craftsmanship. Solid anchors
Christina G.
Had them powder coated to match the hooks on my bumper. Love them.
Andrew L.
The new shackle mounts are built very strong and will make good tow points for flat towing and also recovery on the trail.
I would give them a five star if the cuts on the steel were done cleaner. Just be ready to spend time with a grinder and cleaning
before painting.
Overall a Great design.
Michael W.
The kit was easy to install and looks great!
Nathan B.
Bought this kit to be able to tow my Gladiator with out having to buy the lower bolt on tow bar kit, fit great, towed the Jeep recently 1200 plus miles it it worked great, and when tow bar is off, Jeep is still offroad ready! Well built and great communication!
Rick P.
Awesome product! Strong quality and in my opinion really makes the Rubicon bumper look clean and functional. Switched from a base plate to the shackle tabs for towing and took off about 25 pounds up front. Bash was a great help as well.
John S.
It took a little time to get this order from HK but when it was delivered I was able to prime and paint the tabs and get them ready for instal. They got a little beat up when they were getting installed but with some tape and a can of flat black they will be as good as new. Due to my schedule I had DFW Truck and Accessory install these and my tow package. I am very pleased.
Jeffrey T.
Parts took minimal prep for paint. Everything went together easily and the mounting studs aligned perfectly with the frame horns. Exactly what I wanted for recovery points.
Steve C.
Very well made product. Already used it towing. One question for HK OffRoad. How do most people hook up safety chains/csbles with this setup. This setup is much slicker doesn’t add stuff under bumper that kills your approach angle and looks much better. Overall I’ll give it an A-.
Jack W.
Love the kit ! Can’t wait to try it out on the trails !!
christopher f.
Overall the shackle tab kit for the JK turned out great. I powder-coated them flat black and it took a little extra bending to get one of the bumper cover plates to fit good and I had to purchase washers and nuts to mount the two plates on the bumper, but I am very happy overall as these things are rock solid! Now, I will be able to flat tow the Jeep or mount recovery D-rings with a clean - almost factory look. Thank you!
Tom G.
These are amazing and just what I was looking for! I bought them to flat tow because I wanted something clean and easy to handle. The installation took a bit longer with one person, but it was a straightforward weekend project with plenty of breaks. I used that piece of square steel tube to set the stock hooks on. A couple of good hits with a 4lb sledge, and they came right out as promised! I did need to drill my holes a bit bigger to allow for alignment, but overall, it was a very straightforward installation.
Joseph P.
They're warped, dirty, rough, full of spatter and sharp edges. I couldn't even find a consistent measurement between the two. The plasma cuts are pretty bad. I spent a couple hours cleaning up the cover plates with a dremel before painting them. I really hope they fit better than they look. I regret not building them myself. If I knew they'd take 2 months to arrive and the workmanship was so bad I would never have ordered them.
Cliff D.
The hardest part of the job was drilling out stock hooks to reuse on my install, outside of that im totally satisfied with the tow tabs there beefy. I will tow my Rubicon with total confidence
Thank You
Cliff Dwy Madras OR
Charles R.
I have these kits on other jeeps and this new one the tabs are narrower. I now have to use spacers. I wish it was the samew as the old ones.
Ernie A.
Couldn’t get the metal plates too fit very well so I just cut out factory plastic to work. They turned out great!!
William
Great product and AMAZING customer service!!!
Ralph P.
Great quality!!! Easy to install.
JOHN
This product is exactly what was advertised, I watched videos and read up on the installation and it was exactly as they said not super easy but well worth it
Richard L.
I really like the fit an built strong have them on my 21 392 & 25 Mojave thank you HK
William T.
This is really a perfect solution for flat towing. It works great and looks awesome. The install was very straight forward. Everything is very well made and fits with no issues.
Billy T.
Product was as described however product did not ship within time frame that was referenced on the website. After contacting bash he said it was in the shipment going out the next day, I believe it finally shipped out around a week later.
CYNTHIA J.
They fit and we could use our factor bumper. Perfect
John W.
These solid shackle mounts are a HUGE upgrade to the stock recovery hooks. I like the fact that you can retain the hooks for the cosmetic look. Beyond the product quality, I cannot speak more highly of the responsiveness and customer service provided by Bash, absolutely the best I have ever experienced.
michael h.
HK off-road very informative. They included the safety chain braces in my order. I had these powder coated locally. Take your time on install. Figment is like factory. I wanted to keep the factory look and factory steel bumper on the final edition JL. Ready to tow behind the Coach.
Thank you
Rolland H.
It took a while to get these as Bam makes them to order, but let me tell you it’s well worth the wait. These are BEEFY! They come bare steel so you can coat them to your liking. Powder coat would be ideal, but my local shop had a three-week backlog so I just shake-canned them and installed. They look awesome and I have all confidence the Blue Ox tow bar would fail long before these puppies. Highly recommend if you want hard recovery points or intend to flat tow and don’t want that baseplate hanging down in harms way. Thanks for a great product!
Adam J.
Really great shackle tabs
Monte G.
This is the second set I purchased for towing jeeps behind the RV without losing ground clearance the way standard tow bar mounts do. Need to install this one still, but the fit and function on the prior set was awesome. Will add pictures after the install.
Ryan H.
Just awesome! Super happy with how clean it looks! Sent this pic and a video to my friend Tony Carvallo and he is pumped to add these to his next Sema build! Thanks again!
Bryan C.
The bracket looks great. Looks very strong. Very happy with them.
Kenneth J.
Great product, and built to last.
Lloyd L.
Overall I like the product. I was a little disappointed that one of the D rings was really rough on the side like someone had taken a hammer and chisel to it. This took some extra work to get it ready for paint. It is a good design and fits the bill for adding clevis and flat towing.
Robert S.
Easy to install, the directions were pretty straight forward. Great communication with Bash, he caught that I ordered the tabs for a JK instead of a JL. Have a wheeling trip coming up soon so they will get a work out. I can say these things are stout and well made. Great option if you don’t feel like dropping the money on a decent bumper.
Kevin R.
Great product and quality workmanship.
Donald S.
I wanted to keep the factory hooks along with the tabs. The bolts were not long enough, so I reused the bolts that came out of my tow hooks.
Monte G.
Fit was perfect and looks great. Easy and very secure connection for Blue Ox RV tow bar without having to cut the factory steel skid plate for the standard adapter. The standard adapter also reduces ground clearance. One picture is before the installation - silly OE crash cans and large plastic covers are still in place. Other pictures are after the install - beautiful. Bash - thanks very much for very clean work and fast delivery.
mark c.
The adapters for my towbar are a little wide and needed to be spaced but they fit great. I spent a lot of time looking for these and am extremely happy with the product.
Brent D.
Bash is really a godsend with the shackle tab kit. After seeing a high centered Jeep get dragged off of a high center because it only had hooks, I wanted to be sure I was prepared. I already paid for a bumper and didn’t want to pay again just to add shackles, so this fit the bill.
The install was on the edge of my comfort level, but I was able to get it installed without major difficulty. Fortunately, I had access to a grinder and drill to do the necessary modifications. I also got a can of flat black spray paint to touch up after the cuts. Since I’m all about matchy match, I did purchase some Mopar bumper bolts. The bolts in the kit are certainly adequate, but were a bit different from the stock bolts.
Bash is very responsive via text or email. I was missing a couple of clip nuts, but he had them out to me before I even got the parts back from powder coat.
Robert D.
Little more difficult to install then I thought but I love it. Great look. Thanks HK.
Shawn R.
Great company to deal with. Top quality product. I don’t think you could break these!
John W.
Great service and outstanding product
Justin
Well made product, great customer service, and I think they turned out great.
John W.
Great owners, worked with me to fix my errors. Great products.
Dave G.
Great product for flat towing Jeep JL
Robert R.
I added a winch with winch plate to make it even stronger. Towed the Gladiator over 500 miles no problem. If you are concerned about safety cables ask them for the additional cable loops. Very responsive and will talk idiots through installation.
Adam M.
Nice fit everything worked out. I use them so I can flat tow my jeep behind my diesel pusher.
Carson H.
Good quality part. I only wish that the plates that cover everything were cut more precisely. Looks like everything is cut by hand so not quite uniform. But other than that, I’m very happy with them.
Scott K.
I needed a reliable solution to tow my Jeep behind my RV and wanted to retain the Jeep steel bumper. HK's Shackle Tab kit is high quality and very heavy duty. I had this powder coated to match the front bumper and anticipate years of reliable use from this.
Richard H.
Install wasn’t hard at all. The supplied Allen bolts for the cover were short. I switched to regular hex head bolts. Although it may seem that they fit either side. The plate cover are L and R specific. Shackle mounts are extremely beefy. These are very well welded and gusseted. Even the underside you can see they were drilled and welded for even more strength. Very happy with these. Totally love the all business no bs look.
Eric H.
Within minutes of my inquiry with HK Offroad, I received a text from Bash confirming my order with the exact specifications I needed for the Blue Ox shackle-mounted tow bar for flat-towing my 2018 Jeep JL behind our motorhome. Bash discussed the architectural welds he would use for maximum strength and boy-howdy did he surpass my expectations! I've flat-towed previous jeeps across the country over 100k miles without a single issue. After installing these ultra beefy shackle tabs and 2 days later towing my jeep from St. Louis to Fort Collins, I was convinced that this is the strongest setup I've had to date. Thanks again, Bash!! -Eric H.
Dubeau B.
fast shipping, very well-built product, heavy duty. metal finish is smooth ready for paint.
Fits well, looks great!
Britt C.
Impressed with the overall quality of the product. The welds look solid and the two plug welds on the bottom holding the shackle mount to the base plate was a nice surprise I’ve seen some shackle kits from worldwide name brand manufacturers and they simply don’t have the girth or weight that this kit has. It mounts in the best possible spot for stable and solid recovery point. The other guys shackle hangs down low and points down below the bumper acting as a potential anchor. Only thing I would change with my order would be to eliminate the factory hooks and make installation a little easier by not dealing with them anymore.
Thank you Bash for a quality product using highly quality steel.
Juan L.
Great looks great and functional. Good job
Kenneth M.
Took longer than expected to receive the order but well worth the wait. Supper heavy duty. Took some cutting up of the bumper to get it to fit with the original hooks. Every time I reached out to Bash with a ? He got back to me super fast. That is costumer service that is just not out there anymore. Well done Bash!!! Thanks Ken
Michael C.
These are mandatory if you’re going to flat tow. They work awesome and much stronger than any of the other flat towing mounting systems on the market.
Sheila Q.
We added these to our 2024 Rubicon. Heavy duty and the perfect solution for flat-towing and recovery. We used a drill press to drill out the red hooks and the finished product looks great! Bash was patient and promptly answered all of our questions. Would recommend to anyone looking for a flat-tow solution without the need for a baseplate.
Ronnie R.
Looks great wish it had a in closer plate for back side to cover fog lights
Chris P.
I got my kit and I am absolutely no expert on welding, but a friend of mine who does a lot of welding was extremely impressed by the quality of these parts. The fit and finish was excellent. I couldn’t ask for a better look for my Jeep. Would recommend this to anyone.
scott f.
So this company HK Offroad is truly great. the quality and workmanship is what everyone should be like. Plus fast service. i highly recommend looking here before you buy from someone else.
thanks so much
scott
scott a.
Very stout, most solidly engineered tabs I have seen.
Bruce P.
I LOVE THIS KIT, LOOKS GREAT, EVERYTHING FIT NICLEY WITH A LITTLE CUTTING AND GRINDING. MY ONLY QUESTION IS WITH KEEPING ORIGINAL OEM HOOKS, THE SKID PLATE WILL NOT LINE UP, CAN SOMEONE SUGGEST A SOLUTION.... THANK YOU.
Bruce

Kirk S.
Added the front tabs to my JLUR392XR. Customer service was great. Keeping the OEM bumper and having real tow points looks and functions better than any aftermarket options.
Allen F.
Awesome product! Even better customer service!
Brandon D.
AWESOME PRODUCT FIT PERFECT MAKES THE BUMPER LOOK COMPLETE !!!!!!
Charles T.
Can't say enough good things about HK Offroad and their products. Best Quality, Functional and look amazing. This is not my first HK Offroad purchase and it will definitely not be my last. Thanks to Bash and crew for such badass products!
adrian m.
Love it...just at offroad addiction for the rubicon build...will tag you on pic on Instagram when completed
Joe
HK Offroad never fails to impress. Got my JL Shackle Tab Kit installed and it's exactly what I'd expect from Bash and crew. Thanks for another Badass Grade A Product!
Joseph S.
These tab kits are essential! Makes recovery more secure and also really makes the front bumper feel beefy! Definitely a must and I can’t recommend enough
Michael H.
This kit is very well made. I reached out a couple time with some questions, they responded very quickly!
sean r.
Great product, bolts right up and fit perfectly! 10/10 I would buy again
Bobby D.
Great kit, fitment is perfect.
Shant communicates promptly and it is a pleasure to make a purchase from someone who cares about customer service and the product he sells!
Thank you for all the help.
Nathan D.
Awesome upgrade if you want to keep the Mopar bumper and need strong tow points. Highly recommended. Have used them already and they are solid!
Danai R.
Outstanding service. Shackle tab very beefy. Best design for rubicon steel bumper!!!
Thank you Bash.
Jon K.
A very innovative product and I’m completely blown away with these shackle tabs. Super beefy, awesome quality and outstanding customer service.
Edwin A.
Shackle tab is beefy. The Jeep frame will bend before the shackle tab bends. Very thought out design and functional. I'm 1000% confident in recoveries knowing I have HK Offroad product on my Jeep.
Kings Tire a.
An awsome upgrade for everyone who keeps the stock steel bumper!!!
