Out of the box the bracket needs to be fabricated so that the glass can open when the tailgate is open. The light does not provide clearance and the glass will smack the cube light on the right side of the spare tire. I needed to make and adjustment which would allow the light to sit about an inch and a half forward. Otherwise Installation was straightforward and the lights are bright. For the amount of money paid I would've expected it to work out of the box.
Item arrived VERY well packaged and protected. Seems to be good quality but have not had it long enough for a longevity review. Light bar is brighter than expected. The brackets fit very well. Only issue was instructions said to tighten everything up and install light bar but I found I had to loosen the brackets up to install the light bar.
This is a great addition to our Gladiator. Having the ability to open the side and a rear panel is a great way to keep your items in the bed more secure, I added a padlock to the rear gate for more security. This is a very sturdy bed rack and very good quality.
Hi Mark, based on the pictures you attached it looks like your tire is too large for the bracket to work properly, that is why you had to add the extra bracket and why the glass doesn’t open. This bracket fits up to a 32 Inch tire. How big is your tire?
