I hate to give any money to the company that produces grumpers but I'm not trying to pay JCR money either. Anyone have experience with the Hooke Road Half Rack? It's primary use will be an anchor point to hang my roof in the garage storage.
And it reached the negative terminal without any issues? From Innovative AT Products install instructions they state on page 9 to use the ground stud on the fender because the ground wire won't reach the battery. I'm wondering if added stress is what caused your terminal crimping to fail.
Edit...
I meant from the outside. I keep seeing a lot of pictures where it doesn't line up straight/flush with the top of the windshield like it does in the pictures from Rampage/Rugged Ridge.
Do you mind taking some pictures of that area when you put it back on? From some of the photos I've seen a lot of people have an issue with it seating flush. I bought one a couple months ago but I've been waiting for a hot day to put it on.
