Quality reciever, bolted on in minutes even by my self, only perhaps weak point. The safty chain holds. Not as beefy as i see on other receivers. I would feel more comfortable having a solid plate welded on instead of the round stock loops. If i lost the trailer not just relying on the welds to hold but knowing the whole reciever would have to come off. At that point you have bigger problems. Otherwise love the product..

I can cut and weld, and could build one of these, sure it wouldn't look as good, but would be just as functional.  Having said that its just easier buying for this price VS building one. It bolts on no problem, I have a 3.5" lift, I also have a Rock Jock 44 up front, the housing on it is much bigger then the D30. So I had to trim the front left corner to account for the bigger axle.  This is not a negative for this plate, just let you know if you have an after market axle you will need to do some trimming.  Getting a ski plate is a must for the JK if you have an auto, I cant believe Jeep left those trans cooling line exposed like they did.

I like the removable grill plates feature, which makes it much easier to clean than the earlier fixed plate model.  However, the heat transfer to the grill plates is slower, so it takes longer to get up to operating temp.

I think the latches are a bit less heavily built than I hoped. The steel is thinner than I would have liked.

I wanted a switch to control some linked flourescent lights on my workbench.  Both lights have an on/off switch, and I mounted them in an area that is not all that easy to get to both switches.  My proposed solution was to wire an inline on/off switch to the power cord, so that I only needed to flip this one switch, located in a more accessable area, in order to turn the lights on and off.

This switch has pretty beefy construction, and feels as though it will hold up over time.  There are two small screws that hold it together on the back, and the switch seems to be pretty solid and should last a long time.  My reason for docking it two stars is the internal connection points for the wiring. There are two internal posts with set screws in them.  You basically cut one side of your power cord, and set-screw it in place in the switch.  I was using a standard size power cord, and the set screws do not seem to really grasp the wires as well as I would like.  I need to come up with a better solution, as the way it is set up right now, a swift tug on the cord would easily pull the wiring out of the set-screw posts and out of the switch.  May not seem like a big deal to some, but with little kids in the house, that means there is a pretty high risk of a live power wire coming out of the switch if they start pulling on a cord.

I think the proper solution here is going to require either a metal lead to properly secure to the set-screw and potentially some soldering for peace of mind.  If this switch had some sort of wire insert connection with anti-back out (and I have seen these in much lower priced items), I would have given it 5 stars.

What I really like about it is that it has the option to connect to a normal plate or to the tripod itself (not with a head).  It feels solid and when I fasten something down, I don't have any concerns about it coming loose.  It has a quick removal option which is nice, though I'm not sure when I would use that... but I do like it.

Update... I liked it enough that I bought a 2nd one... so that should tell you everything you need to know in a nutshell.

Preferred a solid unit that slides to adjust rather than one with holes and fasteners, but it does the job.

Did not want to stay put until I glued it onto my metal buttplate.  Now it gives me an inch greater pull on my M1.

very much as i expected it. since the legs and the plates are welded they are perfect for heavier kitchen equipments. I replaced the hot holding box  legs with them and they feel good.

It serves its purpose adequately, but feels cheap. The tabs that pull the plate against the drywall can be over tightened and damaged without even applying noticeable torque. Install it once and do it carefully and you will probably be fine.

This is nice, but the welded parts should have been welded together a little bit better. My hubby, not me this time, backed into a pole barely tapping it and this came off. Thankfully we were paying attention and was able to save it. After some reinforcement from what, I don't know, but it's back up and we're rollin. P.S. This is on an extra long Suburban and it doesn't look too small. It's perfect. The lock coming with it was also a nice addition.

I just didn't feel like giving this five stars, but thinking about the fact that we've only had to change it after a year of heavy use, I decided that maybe I did love it.

Hope I never need to use it...but it feels nice knowing I can if I accidentally break something.

Lite weight does what I need it don't think it would hang in there for long in heavy welding

This is a very nice window mount but I really wish they didn't have their own proprietary quick release plate.
This would be much more useful if it used a standard arca swiss plate.  It is annoying to have to mount this specific plate when I want to use the window mount and then switch back when I go on a hike.  They should think of selling a version of their plate that has a normal arca plate welded to it.  That would improve usability a ton and they wouldn't have to change their product itself. The quick release plate itself doesn't provide a very good mount to my camera anyway.

this looks and feels good, no problems with assembly or wobble, the thing I don't like is that it's not welded or brazed together, instead they are soldered. I'm not comfortable with that, but I bought it, so we shall see.

added another hitch on to my hitch rack so that I can also carry a bike carrier.  I'd suggest welding it on as I did if you're going to do this though
