Just what I needed. They work perfectly and the pictures are proof positive. 1/2 mile of dirt road muddy and snow packed on first photos same road one day later after install and going to town to wash the bronco the road was muddier on the return trip and the gatorbacks did the job!
Nice fit, perfect to keep the rocks down behind me

++ Packaging: very well packed and clear instructions
+Assembly: take the tires off and this assembly is a breeze. These were much easier to assemble than the fronts and I was able to make parallel with the wheels easily. Tip 1, if you have the plastic bumper don’t over tighten the self threading screws. This will strip the plastic in a heartbeat.
Fitment: Overall, pretty happy with how they fit. Wish the backing plate worked with the plastic bumper screws so I could torque the screws down. Also not sure 143 ft-lb for tow hooks is too high as I felt that I fatigued the threads past 140 ft-lb. Tip 2, make sure to put blue loctite on those M12 bolts.
++ Packaging: Everything well packed and organized. Instructions pretty solid as well.
= Assembly: Tried to install with the tires on and it was a pain. Took the tires off and much easier to get aligned. Install overall wasn’t too bad, the fender panel clips were a bit frustrating, despite me being a fan of tinnermans. Tip 2, check level on the face of the tire and try to set the flap to match. Tip 3, try to keep everything loose if possible to get the fit lined up. Tip 4, don’t over torque the screws as they will pull through.
Fitment: Overall, not too bad. I could not get them perfectly aligned parallel with the tire as it hit the rock rail. Not too bad, but a bit frustrated as they toe out a few degrees at the bottom. Also my rock rails don’t protrude through very far as seen in the video instructions. I have everything pushed back as far as I could with access to a socket for the crash bar bolts.
I installed the Gatorbacks in about an hour, without removing the wheels. The instructions in the the box told you what tools you needed and combined with the Youtube video it was easy. Thanks
