1999 - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ Hidden Winch Mount. 9th Anniversary Edition. 

Kratos - The Tire Carrier designed for

WJ - 1999 to 2004 Grand Cherokee
WK - 2005 to 2010 Grand Cherokee (your hatch will sit 1/4" higher when shut after installing the new struts. The hatch operates, latches and seals as designed but it will sit 1/4" higher when closed. If you can live with that,then order. If it's going to bother you please do not order).
XJ-Tight fit and clearance through the narrow XJ gaps in the body panels. You may have to grind down the tire carrier at the edges if you find any part rubbing against the body. Once installed and verified all the edges all clear, it works as designed. 
ZJ - 1993 to 1998 models. The upper mounting holes on top of hatch need to be drilled out to 9/16th. The fitment of the carrier is tight and narrow on the top bolts. Once drilled, you'll use a small pry bar to assist in getting the nuts on. 

ATTENTION!!! Placing your rear tire on the back (hatch) of your vehicle causing an obstruction of rear-view may not meet your local State Vehicle Codes along with blocking your third brake light. Please check your local vehicle codes before placing an order. Buyer assumes all financial responsibility. It would be wise to purchase a 3rd brake light which mounts in the wheel well. Companies such as 4 Wheel Parts sell third brake lights.

Our tire carrier involves brute strength, power and force from the custom built struts  to raise that heavy offroad tire into the air. There for, with all that brute strength, power and force, we call our tire carrier "Kratos - The Tire Carrier".

In Greek Mythology.  Cratos was a son of the Titan Pallas (not to be confused with PallasAthena) and the goddess Styx. He was the personification of strength and power. The name is derived from the common noun Κράτος, meaning "force", "strength", or "power". The spellings "Cratus" and "Kratos" are also used.

Uncle Joe, weighing in at 184 pounds sits on top of his 97-lbs 35" tire all mounted to the Kratos. Excellent location to fish in the river from if we may say so...

Front Recovery Shackle Tab Kit - Heavy Duty - Reinforced
Available for the WJ 1999 - 2004, WK 2005 - 2010 (including CRD), XK 2006 - 2010 model years (including CRD). D-RINGS NOT INCLUDED!

HK Offroad's Shackle Tab Kit replaces the factory front tow hooks and is compatible with all our basic hidden winch mounts which did not come with shackle tabs. 

Build and Material: The tab itself is constructed with A572 Grade-50 steel which is also used in building beams. It's welded to 1/4" plate and two 1/4" thick gussets. Mounted to your frame rails with Grade-8 bolts and frame sandwich plates which are also 1/4" thick. Take Recovery Seriously!!!

(WJ) The mounting plate is constructed from 1/4" Plate and has three mounting holes to the underside of the WJ's uni-body frame-rail. Mounts to factory holes, no drilling required. Minor grinding required under uni-body frame-rail.
(WK and XK) The mounting plate is constructed from 1/4" Plate and has four mounting holes to the underside of the WK's uni-body frame-rail. Mounts to three factory holes plus one additional hole deep back into the frame-rail, one hole drilling required per side.

The Shackle Tab is constructed of 3/4" thick x 7" length Grade-50 Steel and is welded to the 1/4" plate all around with two gussets on the side. The shackle tab has a 7/8"" hole for D-Ring Shackles. These are the same shackle tabs we use on our winch mounts and bumpers. 

Grade 50 is a high strength, low alloy steel that finds its best application where there is need for more strength per unit of weight. Less of this material is needed to fulfill given strength requirements than is necessary with regular carbon steels.

Grade 50 is used in general plate applications when the plate will be riveted, bolted, or welded. Grade 50 is a Columbium-Vanadium steel that offers a minimum yield of 50,000 PSI. In addition, ASTM A572 Grade 50 is noted for its increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Grade 50 contains more alloying elements than plain carbon steel and thus is somewhat more difficult to form. Grade 50 is more difficult to cold work, but can be successfully bent or shaped but requires more force than plain carbon steel. 

ASTM A572 Grade 50 is considered a "workhorse" grade and is widely used in many applications. Steel mills produce channel and heavy beams with Grade 50. It is commonly used in structural applications, heavy construction equipment, building structures, heavy duty anchoring systems, truck frames, poles, liners, conveyors, boom sections, structural steel shapes, and applications that require high strength per weight ratio.

Hardware:
All required Grade-8 mounting hardware is included. Shackle Tabs arrive as a pair.

Finish:
Arrives Bare Steel.

Installation:
Very simple. Bolt on application 

For WJ - Remove factory bumper fascia, grind down small sheet-metal lip under uni-body frame rail, install shackle tabs and frame rail mounting plates, reinstall bumper fascia. Grinding required, no drilling required. 

For WK - Remove factory bumper fascia, install shackle tab plate and frame rail backing plate using three nuts and bolts in factory holes, drill a 3/8" hole for the fourth mounting location deep back on the frame rail. Reinstall bumper fascia. Drilling required. No grinding or cutting necessary. 

We would like to thank the team over at BSF Recovery for making this short video on the installation of our shackle tab kit for the WJ. Thank you team!

Front Tow Hitch Receiver w/ D-Ring Shackle Tabs (HEAVY DUTY) for Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ 1999 - 2004, Grand Cherokee WK 2005 - 2010, Jeep Commander XK 2006 - 2010 (fits CRD and Gasoline Models)

The Idea: To have a removable winch mounted to a tow receiver plate with solid D-Rings attachments. Recessed design, low overhang with minimal approach angle loss. To be mounted behind factory bumpers. The front tow receiver has many uses and comes in quite useful. 100% Bolt On.

In Summary as stated by a fellow Jeeper, "You guys just put all front tow hitch manufacturer's to shame with this product". It's probably true.

Our WJ and WK, XK Front Tow Hitch Receiver w/ Shackle Tabs are built with A572 Grade-50 steel which is also used in building beams. It's welded to 1/4" plates and two 1/4" thick gussets. The Center tube is a 2" x 2" by .188 wall thickness. We weld MULTI-pass on all contact points of the 3/4" shackle tab plate. Mounted to your frame rails with Grade-8 hardware and frame sandwich plates which are also 1/4" thick. Take Recovery Seriously!!!

(WJ) The mounting plate is constructed from 1/4" Plate and has three mounting holes to the underside of the WJ's uni-body frame-rail. Mounts to factory holes, no drilling required. Minor grinding required under uni-body frame-rail. To mount behind Limited bumpers you must cut off the two center plastic pieces to amke enough room for the 2" receiver. 
(WK and XK) The mounting plate is constructed from 1/4" Plate and has four mounting holes to the underside of the WK's/XK's uni-body frame-rail. Mounts to three factory holes plus one additional hole deep back into the frame-rail, one hole drilling required per side.

The Shackle Tab is constructed of 3/4" thick x 7" length Grade-50 Steel and is welded to the 1/4" plate all around with two gussets on the side. The shackle tab has a 7/8"" hole for D-Ring Shackles. These are the same shackle tabs we use on our winch mounts and bumpers.

For WJ - Remove factory bumper fascia, grind down small sheet-metal lip under uni-body frame rail, install Front Tow Receiver  and frame rail mounting plates, reinstall bumper fascia. Grinding required, no drilling required. 

For WK/XK  - Remove factory bumper fascia, install Front Tow Receiver Kit and frame rail backing plate using three nuts and bolts in factory holes, drill a 3/8" hole for the fourth mounting location deep back on the frame rail.

Constructed from 14-gauge Steel and bent to match the contour of the lower ashtray, this switch panel replaces your ashtray panel. Select between my design which has eight switch cut-outs with or without three holes for USB/12-Volt/Battery Voltage etc or select CUSTOM to request custom size holes. 

You are purchasing the panel ONLY in bare steel ready to paint. We do not include switches. There are so many rocker switches available from Amazon including Heated Seats, Winch Switches, lights etc. Just visit amazon and type Rocker Switch in the search bar. 

One very important detail: these plates are plasma cut on a plasma cnc. Plasma is basically a flame melting through the metal. The cuts are not 100% perfect like laser or waterjet cutting. The cuts will also have a 1/16th +/- tolerance. Custom cut panels are cut to your request and custom measurement if you are requesting different size holes than what we have drawn. We provide a proof of the drawing for your approval to cut. There are no returns or refunds on custom cut panels. Please order only if you understand and agree.

These struts are not the stuff you buy from ebay, amazon or your local parts store. These struts are serious beef and last a very long time. These are custom built and you'll receive a text from us after ordering. We will build them to the amount of pressure you'll need depending on what you would like to attach to the rear hatch, like jerry cans, high lift jacks etc. If you are not planning on attaching anything on the hatch and just need something more reliable then we will build them with factory spec pressure. 

These are built in batches. Requires two weeks lead time to ship.

If you add the optional Frame Kickers at time of ordering, the frame kickers and plates will arrive un-welded so you can customize to your own vehicle's frame/unibody as needed. 

A lot more 4x4 owners nowadays are purchasing 2x6 tubes and welding them in the place of their rockers or building their own rock sliders, but taking many shortcuts in design. We've decided to become your supplier for the 2x6 tubes for every do-it-your-selfer out there who would like to build their own. From Jeep Cherokees, Grand Cherokees, Wranglers, Toyota Tacomas, FJ Cruisers, 4-Runners etc.  We DO NOT provide any instructions on how to weld these sliders or where to cut on your vehicle. This is 100% do-it-yourself kit, all we're doing is supplying the steel with the double tapered ends finished and the high-lift jacking notches under the slider welded in. 

If you need frame kickers we can provide those as well for an extra charge at $16 per kicker. The frame kickers will be 1" x 2" x .120 rectangle tubes at 10" length and 1/4" flat rectangle plates with four holes on the corner. If adding frame-kickers you would want to have at least two on each slider, but three per slider is preferred. 

The plastic lower door cladding on the WJ Laredo model is... let's be frank, it's just a plain eye sore. Replace the plastic cladding with our steel lower door armor kit. These lower door panels are NOT meant to stop a boulder from crushing your door if you happen to slam into one. They're meant to replace the ugly cladding on the Laredo models. Best part about it other than looks and protection; if you scratch it, it can be removed, sanded and repainted for a new look at any given time and it's easier to resurface/repaint this panel instead of repairing your door. 

Shipping: $28 Flat Rate Shipping to lower 48 States. Please contact us for a shipping quote to other areas. Local Pick-up Available in Covina, Ca.
