@Maximus-3 GREAT product. The classic hoop feels robust and, at 2.5“ is much beefier than the others I considered. Installation was straight forward and it feels like it can really take a hit and protect the grill and lights. I think this is one of my best upgrades and certainly a favorite.

Does anyone have any pics of the classic hoop on the bumper with the end caps removed, ideally with driving lights in between?

All finished! Took longer than anticipated due to the U-clip removal but finally got it. Also, for anyone with a larger winch like the warn zeon 10s, it is extremely tight to get the reinforcement brackets installed. i finally went out and bought ratcheting box end wrenches.

But I think worth it! The instructions say I could use the factory bolts if I wanted to but they are not long enough for the holes with the reinforcement bracket. Factory bolts would have looked better, but small detail! Thanks maximus 3 - given the quality of my first purchase from you, I'll likely be ordering more.

Which winch cover did you use and how did you get it on inside the bumper?

it's the standard synthetic warn brand one for the zeon 10s - you have to finesse it with your hand in keeping ti flat and hook the edge over on the bottom of the winch and your'e good. Super tight though.

I have the Warn Stealth cover with the Maximus-3 winch plate, JL Tow hooks, and stealth cover plates. I tried fitting the cover on to no luck. Wondering if I need to pull the bumper to get it on? I have a Zeon 10-S also.

Does the classic hoop with the slant orientated towards the back obstruct the view of the forward-facing trail cam? I saw on the gladiator forum of a member posting a photo of his JT with the classic hoop slanted forward and visibility was decent.

Installed the Maximus Classic Hoop tonight and it looks fantastic. Very and I mean very slight sheen difference on powdercoat.
Pics will follow but first:
1) Nut clip removal on the forward holes away from grille is tough even after watching the video! Go ahead btw and remove the outer 2 most nut clips on the filler plate if you are reinstalling because they rattle very bad and the holes are covered by the hoop footings anyway.
2) My stock bumper bolts would not fit the hoop bend portion. Think hoop mounted bent towards grille…stock bolts wouldn’t go.

3) Frame mounts are a PITA, be sure to leave loose along with hoop hardware otherwise the mounting holes do not align.
4) The stainless tiny Maximus logo doesn’t remotely look right on the bumper and thankfully is removable. However, there will be 4 tiny purposeless holes in the hoop footings at this point.
5) Front camera is very obstructed with the hoop leaning inward.
6) Hardware was missing for frame mounts if I was also mounting a winch. I wasn’t so no big deal.

Honestly expected more from a $300+ hoop as far as fit, design, attention to detail but at the end of the day, it’s a freaking hoop.

How did the install go?
My hoop should be here tomorrow, and I have the same lights and bracket already mounted.

5 minute install. Easy. Starting to see some surface rust around the welds but I'm still loving it.

Thanks man :like:
Love the bronze KC logo. I showed my wife and she said she doesn't want to be like that guy, she wants hers purple to match her paint instead :CWL:

Dang, surface rust? I’d expect better powder coating for that kind of price…
