Has anyone tried to mount this with metal brackets to the bumper, rather than hanging it on the radiator? Did it work?

I mounted it behind the bumper on a '93 S-10 and it didn't have enough airflow. I mounted a 7" fan to it and it worked great for three years until it was damaged by road debris. I'm going to replace it and put on a shield to protect it.

Where it is mounted does not matter; it does need to be protected from damage,. Can you still have it reasonably protected where you will mounted? (protected from rock/debris strikes & vandalism) If so, attaching to the bumper should be fine.

I didn't try that method of mounting it, but I don't recommend it...as it would be very vulnerable to damage from other vehicle's bumpers, fender-benders, etc.

I made my own brackets that is mounted on the radiator support frame. I also made some custom hard lines for the cooler for my 1997 4Runner. It works great!!

Not sure....I didn't have a bracket like that. Did you remove the rear fascia/bumber?

It's possible....., mounting it is easy you need about 10-12 inches of room. I would suggest in front of the radiator.

As I recall it did have the mounting brackets since those are typically bent along with the bumper. Yes it works with the tow package.

I have tabs welded to the bumper and these just mount right to the tabs. They work great. just make sure you have a drill big and bad enough to make the 3/4 inch hole in the 1 inch tab. We used a cutting torch and cleaned it up with a step drill and a grinder.

I put direct to the radiator and that was 4 mounts ago and still holding.I dont know if that would work or not.If your radiator is leaking I would just pour directley into radiator and run the car or truck for a few miles to get it good and hot and your problem should be fixed.it did the job on my wifes nissan any way.

I used the brackets, will also work with zip-ties. Works great with flat mounting area. I have 2 mounted in grill 2 on bumper under the grill and front quarter panels for intersection approach.

I have mine mounted in a 2006 DodgeRAM 1500 Mega Cab. Bracket is mounted directly below the Temp/Fan control panel and above the Cup Holders compartments.Fits well and doesn't interfere with any of the controls or cup holders.

No, the bottom bracket is actually attached to th bumper bracket on the frame. I believe you need to drill one whole in the frame on each side - you use the two existing screw wholes in the frame so there are three load points on the frame on each side. You should be able to download the instructions from the rugged ridge site. When I first went to install the bracket, I thought it would never work. Once I turned them the right way and slid them BETWEEN the bumper and the frame on each side it was quite easy.

It comes with mounting brackets, may need a little bending but should work no problem.

Gary, the bracket is attached to your bumper. The sensor unclips/clips in...

I've got mine mounted on the shiny dashboard plastic on the top of my center console in my Honda Element. It has been holding perfectly since I bought it, even in 90 degree plus weather. I'm not that gentle with it either, frequently yanking the phone out from the jaws rather than unloading the clamp to remove it.

Yes, I have one. I haven't mounted it yet, but I did do the research on what size radiator is compatible. Have fun with your build.

Ot that I recall. I used toyota fjcruiser factory bumper brackets to mount them on my bumper.

I installed the same bumper, and i had to remove the chrome metal off the main bracket because it wont work if you have the tow package. You can make it work by just using the chrome covered parts and plastics. If you don't have the tow package it will fit. Rafael good luck

I didn't use the rack mounted to the hitch ball hole on the bumper as it was designed. It would probably cause a problem with the shell though. I mounted mine to a piece of receiver that I slid into the receiver and that way I could move it away from any obstacles. Its a great rack and like it because of the lock. Good luck!!
