This mount is bombproof. It is very solid and looks great. I didn't have any trouble installing it, and I installed it first without the plastic covers, and then reinstalled it with the covers. It is very strong, alot stronger than you would think. I would almost not hesitate to stand on this mount, at least one foot. I really like how it locks the jack, and the rubber pads keeps it from vibrating too much. One thing I did do is line the jack stand platform (where the base of the jack sits) with a shop towel, although I am changing to a thin rubber mat. This keeps everything from scratching and lowers vibrations.I really like the way that this mount looks on my Jeep, especially with the hinge covers installed. It feels very solid with the jack in place, and the jack fits perfectly. The only gripe I have is that you have to totally remove both knobs, the bottom washer, and plate to remove the jack from the mount. This isn't a huge deal but it makes them prone to getting lost.Other reviewers are right about the instructions, they are not very clear. You can find some tutorials online though, which are great. Personally I just followed the instructions as they are not horrible and it is pretty much self explanatory.Biggest thing is make sure to measure the gap when drilling your plastic hinge cover, as some claim the template provided is not accurate. In my case, it was, but I still did it by hand. It's easy if you have one half (top or bottom) installed, you can place the cover underneath the uninstalled half and use a center punch through the bolt holes to mark where to center your drill bit. Use a 1/2&#34; drill bit, but wiggle it around a bit. You can use a larger (9/16&#34;) bit, but I do like how tightly the spacers fit into the hinge covers using a 1/2&#34;. It makes it look nice and feel more &#34;watertight&#34; even though that doesn't matter at all. Having them tight also makes it alot easier to fit everything together when installing all of the pieces (I think some of the bolts need like 6 pieces to line up for the installation). I actually used a little tiny strip of duct tape to tape some of the washers to the inside of the spacer which made my life alot easier. I also tried taping the washer to the end of a firm wire rod and &#34;fishing&#34; it into place. Both methods were pretty good actually, and with the &#34;fishing&#34; method I didn't have to leave the tape on the washer.I don't particularly like adding this much weight to the tailgate of my Jeep, especially with a bike mount on my spare tire. So when I get the money to replace my bumpers I'm going to move my high-lift onto a bumper with a rear tire carrier built in. That will push the weight off the frame and onto the chassis.
