Does anyone know of an install video for this because I’m putting it on my Jeep on Saturday?!?!

 

[Northridge4x4]

It is a pretty easy install. We are finishing up our install video today.

Don't know when it will go live yet.

@NEWBWHEELER .... Our install video is now live:

SWEET!!!

I’m literally just finishin up my lunch and heading into the garage to start. I’ll let you all know how it goes.

Ok I did the install and I’ll give the product an 8/10.

Pros:
Very light weight compared to the Warn or Mopar winch plates. This thin couldn’t be more than 10-15lbs at best.

Love the fact that it is a one pc design.

Cons:
The holes to mount the fairlead did not line up at all. Luckily in my previous lifetime I was a machinist and had the proper tools and know how to deal with it.

Also I followed the Northridge install video fo the wiring and removing the fender cost me six broken tabs. If your going to do it this way either take the time to remove the fender liner so that you can pinch the backside of the tabs or make sure you have plenty of replacements on hand.

That's a serious bummer. Anyone else experience this?

This is the only one we have ever heard of all the other ones bolted right up and we have sold over hundreds so far.

Based on how his mounts, would you say it would be equal to pull strength as the Warn? I like that Warn mounts to the frame ends rather than the side but not sure it makes a difference.

 

[Northridge4x4]

I feel the Grimm mount is more than anybody will need in terms of Strength.

Yah just to be clear. I’m 100% satisfied with the product. It’s not at all out of the realm of possibility that I did something wrong or that I got a one off that was punched out a little bit off.
