just got the notification that this part is shipping today....finally
Checked on the 4wd web site and the part they show looks different than what was originally shown and to be honest it looks pretty cheap 4 the price. I'll post more when I get it...
Anyone actually have this yet...any thoughts?

Finally got mine delivered and installed.. would post pics, but the computer images provided earlier in this post are pretty much identical to how it looks. Instructions are very clear and easy to follow.
The installation took me about 30 minutes which included removing/reinstalling the spare tire. The jack sits up pretty stinkin high( about 10")above the top of the jeep.
Product seems to be sturdy and well made but.... for what it is I think it's over-priced (10-20 buck cheaper would seem fair) Having said that, it's the best way I've seen so far to mount a hi-lift on the jk w/o buying an aftermarket rear bumper/tire carrier or being able to fab something myself.
The true test will come when off-road, I'm curious to see the mounting bolts stay tight or not and if it rattles around.
You could throw a lock on the bottom mounting plate, but a person could still remove the entire assembly from the tailgate with a socket and some time.
