You can down load installation manuals on Blue Ox web site. Before I bought the Blue Ox base plate I wanted to see how hard install would be. Blue Ox left out some the put back together details. Once I started putting bumper back on top was ok but not the bottom. The bumper is plastic. I put a 2 ft 2 by 4 under the bottom & a jack under it. I slowly raised it into position & drilled some holes. Used 5/16 bolts & large washers. It is holding in place ok. I have a wrangler sport. rubicon may be a little different.
For the Blue Ox Patriot brakes I made a plate to rest against the soft seat instead of buying theirs fo $50. I used a partial radius of 10" dia irrigTion pipe 18" long. Wife covered it with vinyl. Used Walmart velcro to hold in place.
