About the latches:
Only 1 latch will be needed for the fenderwell kit per side. If the area is popping off under the headlights as well, you will want to order a pair of full latch kits as well, which will be in the link sent when you order. You can even order our fenderwell kit first, then if needed after, order the front latch later.

The goal is to go from the bumper falling off, to this:

The how-to will be updated to reflect the final design as needed, but overall, it is pretty similar to the prototype.

PICS of final product:

 

Probably need to get the pin screwed in a little more.

Yeah that's exactly what I need to do I have just been too lazy to do it

[doublepost=1474482616][/doublepost]I still need to adjust the bolts as some stick out too far but so far so good.

For those wondering how well these hold up in a crash. Hyrdoplanned trying to avoid another car at 60mph and spun into a guardrail.

Well the bumper is ummm still there.... Quik-Latch FTW , Sorry about the damage :-(

 

Thumbs up on them working well. If you need any replacement parts, let me know. of course, new everything means latches should not be needed for about 4 months.

 

Even if i do get a new bumper i will still add the quick latches as it makes taking the bumper off 1000% easier.

Raider your original write up uses
QL-25-S upper diameter 1.25 inch (31.75 mm)
I just found this thread but i had already ordered 4 of these. Did you recommend a different upper diameter in this update ? also i did not buy the mini latch spring assist should i pick those up ? originally I was just gonna use the same bolts on the bracket and call it a day. But i see your new update utilizes the first and last bolt at the rear of the fender.

 

The diameter is fine. It's been years, no issues. I'll be honest, I've had em for years and don't totally remember the latch size, but was the default. My kit uses a shorter pin for the fenderwell. The regular kit threads into the bracket, ideally the black ones. The springs really help, I recommend them a lot.

 

@Raider any idea when they will have the Gen 1 kits back in stock?

 

Now, actually! I'll text him as he has a shipment.
