Gatekeeper Knuckle Mounts

[pvn.jt24]

Anybody have these installed on their JT?

I’ve been eyeing it and the price seems worth it. Would have to pick up a pair of S1 pods, but those are in a good price range for a pair.

If you’ve got these, let me know your inputs!

I have been looking at these for awhile now but couldn’t decide between them or rock lights. Since most any trails we will run at night is in the desert I figured having lights that throw a beam out low and are able to turn with your wheels would be more beneficial than lighting the middle and back of the truck that I can’t see from inside anyway. Just ordered mine and waiting for them to arrive. Besides I have always been a fan of any small American company trying to make it in today’s market

I've been looking at then for a while. I constantly get ads for Gatekeeper on Facebook.

Interesting. Did not know such a thing existed until now.

Heck yea, have and love! I paired it with Baja Design's S1's in yellow. They steer with the knuckle, pretty neat design. I used a bit of dielectric grease in the connector because where I am and wheel, they get completely submerged frequently.

anybody have a long term review? Also, what's the minimum lift you'd say needed to make these useful? Seems to me a stock height would make these kinda useless.

Seen em. Love em. Want em. So many other things to button up first. Lockers before light bars.

I have only had mine for about 5 months but still love them. I don't run a lift on my Rubicon but did have to remove the wings on the steel bumper in order to get any benefit from my lights.

I hear you. Lockers and gears take a huge chunk of money to get done. My XJ went that route. Hell, it still doesn't have lights but is locked and geared LOL. For the Gladiator I'm waiting for lockers and gears till my 35s are ready for replacement and I jump to 38s. In the mean time, lights get added a little at a time. I won't be able to go another 2 years without tinkering with lights in the meantime.

Already have the lockers in just don’t have an air supply yet. I keep getting distracted. Solar stuff, tractor 50hr maintenance, 4rynner needs something done, etc etc. And of course discovering new to me products that are super cool and I want!!!! I thought being retired was supposed to be relaxing.

exactly, My XJ just sits. I haven't driven it in years. I should sell it, but then it'll just end up with some high schooler that will destroy it within a month. She's been too good to allow that to happen to her. So she sits while I work the Gladiator over or play with this TJ I'm fixing up to sell.

They are awesome if they fit your current set up. For me, I only have a 1 inch level on my Rubicon. I took the sides of the steel bumper off so I just have the OEM “stubby “ I would say you need either a 2 1/2 inch lift or an aftermarket really stubby bumper. I have a set of ledco lights ( or something like that whatever that company is) that are dual color white high beam yellow low beam with my current set up I don’t get much use from these. I’m actually going to adjust them a little bit tomorrow and try and get the light even a little lower on the bracket that should help a little also if you set them up so they kind of go inward so almost crossing the beams supposedly that helps I would 100% recommend gatekeeper if they fit your build if not, there’s a company called iron rock that also makes a set that look like they put the light much lower. I don’t have any experience with those ones but as this is something I’ve been looking at in the last couple days, that’s what I found. This is nothing against gatekeeper. Gatekeepers is absolutely fantastic. These mounts are just a little high for what I have. Hopefully the adjustments I make tomorrow will help out if I don’t get much out of that I’m going to give the iron rock ones a go.
