Love the tire carrier. Instructions for the latch placement would be nice. Also some instructions for the extra pieces. Watched the YouTube video but did not see any of them I it. Also emailed hello@dirtboundoffroad.com about missing d ring brackets with no response.

Great product, had to do a little trimming for radiator hose clearance, but had plenty of material to do so. Very secure and well designed. Even fits the battery temp sensor on 97+ cherokees.

Great sturdy battery tray. Threaded rods kinda stink though and made putting it in a pain.

Very well made bracket but if you’re doing the center console swap to a 1996 or earlier Cherokee this will not fit. I’ll have to add some length to the legs and hopefully I can make this fit.

I wanted to give even less stars for the rating because there shouldn't need to be any additional fabrication needed to install these other than just drilling some holes and bolting it on, but these are very stout and sturdy rails and after all the additional hassle the outcome was just as I was hoping and they look like they'll do great at their job. The problem during installation was the length of the 90 degree side arms on them was too long, which resulted in a good 1/4" to 1/2" gap between the pinch weld and the mounting brackets. I had to cut the ends off, shave off the extra length and then re-weld them back on. I've heard they make a couple different versions of these depending on if there is any customization to your rig and need the additional length of of the side arms, but I didn't and I sure didn't specify any customization in the order. So, disappointed in that regard, and if your order these maybe confirm with them the length specifications prior so that there aren't any surprises, because I read another review where the same thing happened. But definitely pleased with the quality and they look good, and look like they'll perform good as well, so overall happy with the purchase in the end.

Other then having to reroute my rear caliper hard lines to go under the plate instead of over for it to work for me but once fully installed I have no problems. Good product nice and beefy.

Awesome product very pleased! Installation was a breez, only reason for 4 stars is some of the holes didnt quite line up on the frame and also needed to grind down some down some of edges for proper fitment.

Heavy duty replacement for the factory one. Nice that it holds a 34/78 battery as well. Would have been five stars if it had instructions and the threaded rods weren’t cut crooked which made starting the nuts difficult. Would still highly recommend !

Great fix but needed some tweaking. Overall I'm very happy.

Solid heavy gauge metal, only bad I can say is that it's not stated (or I overlooked it) that they aren't already assembled. Not that it's a problem, just a little more work.

Definitely heavy duty and well designed. one side was perfectly welded and filled, I had to touch up the other side due to my OCD

Great and sturdy. Wish I had done this sooner. Had tried to make do with my own hardware store brackets at the foot of the console. This is much stiffer and better. The only knock on this is that you have to be prepared to really shove it down, play with it, or re-drill the holes in your floor to get everything aligned, but if you are doing this, these things are minor. Overall its well worth the effort and everything else will fall off your jeep before your center console does. Thanks DIrtBound. You got it out fast and its a quality part. Solved a major annoyance with this vehicle.

Cheaper than the competition and works just as good, wish it had some directioms.

Very sturdy. Just what I needed for my new bumper to have the additional support over the factory mounting holes.

Perfect fit, easy install, as long as you don't break things (accidentally or on purpose) getting the old one out

There were no directions. I sent an email asking for some that went unanswered - that's why I gave it a four star review instead of a five. A makeshift RivNut tool was provided and worked 'okay'. But with it, it's hard to tell when you've got the rivet portion properly seated. I stripped the bolt head out on the tool about halfway through installation and ended up buying a $60 tool with extra rivnuts off Amazon. That tool was worth every penny and made rivnut installation so much easier AND faster on the other side. As for the panel fitment, my 2001 XJ has different taillight/tailgate set up. They aren't as 'boxy', so it's not as clean of a fit but looks fine just the same. I recommended these to someone else already and would again.

Great idea, so glad to have my console stable again. Solid as a rock, didn’t fit exactly, required minor modification-holes to the body were a little off.

Sturdy product and definitely worth the money. Only reason its 4 stars and not 5 is because the mounting holes on the bracket are just a little off from the factory holes for the jeep. The self tapping screws provided worked to drill new holes just wished it lined up better out of the box.
