Installed a Tazer mini bracket and gas cap holder from etsy.

Installed a driveshaft dropper from Rock Jock.

Mounted a new bike rack for my new bike (Happy new bike day to me!)

Put on the tube doors and went for a ride/cruise.

Nothing against you at all, but Amazon. Becoming such a shady cesspool of fake reviews to bump up crap products. I’ve always relied heavily on reviews to buy a good product, but now it’s entirely a leap of faith it seems.

fortunately this only seems to apply to odd knockoff type Asian products.

Seems every other time I buy something I get solicited with a gift card or who knows what for a 5 star review.
I agree. But before I took the deal, I made it clear I was not going to just give them 5 stars if I didn’t like them. Or thought they were shit. I mentioned in my review that the instructions suck.

Got back in mine the other day. Luckily she's taken me back. I was seeing another Glad behind her back earlier this week in CO. We had a manual Rubi to explore the mountains with. We found some trails to take it out on, Williams Peak Road, John's Pass, and Peru Creek, all an hour or less from where we stayed in Keystone, near Dillon. None of the trails were very technical, but all took us to spectacular views, got to 11,200 ft before we had to turn around on John's Pass because it was still blocked with snow. The rubi probably could have made it through no problem, but being a rental, and alone with my wife and no recovery gear, decided against trying to push through. We also got to see our first concert at Red Rocks, which was amazing! CO is so fun, it's like a giant playground for Jeeps!

I always have such a hard time reading reviews when buying anything anymore, especially knowing they are fudged with bribed 5 star reviews. I partook in them once or twice before but they really were 5 star reviews. At least if you buy something from amazon via prime, it's easy to just return it with no questions asked.

full disclosure they refunded me half my money after I bought these and are refunding me the other half after my review posts on Amazon. I still am very impressed with them and love the way the look.

Typical Chinese stuff.
These look identical to the ones I just installed...

I, too, was bribed for a review, but, as you did, I made sure to let the seller know I wouldn't simply hand them a 5-star review.

Installed Cheapo Amazon locking hood latches that the kids gave me for Fathers day. I like the OEM look and they feel pretty sturdy so we shall see. Happy Father's day everyone!

Do you have a write up or pics of that? I have these on the way and was definitely going to trim up some black vinyl to cover the chrome keyhole with.
Now you have the bolt heads bothering me.? And I don’t even have the truck or the hood locks yet.?

Sorry no pics but once you have them in hand you will see what you need to do. Replace the after market bolts with the factory pins and latches .. Very easy I would give it a 1 out of ten on difficulty.
