Do yall think this is basically the same nudge bar that rough country offers?

Installed mine today. I thought I tightened everything properly per the manufactur’s instructed torque settings, but the nudge bar vibrates when the engine is running. Is this normal or should I just carefully reinstall it?

I can't say that it's normal or not, but given that it looks like it mounts way underneath on the skid bolts and then wraps all the way up and around - that much unsecured leverage on the bar makes me think that some vibration wouldn't be unusual.

If it's not rubbing on anything while it's vibrating it probably won't hurt anything, or you could try to get some sort of brace in up higher, like with the license plate holder or something, just to sort of ground it somewhere up top. Even if it's just a piece of pool noodle / pipe insulation wedged in there where you can't see it.

Yeah it’s probably normal but I could see it shaking in the front camera. Then I looked at it outside the vehicle and it seemed kind of excessive. It’s secured between the factory tow hooks and the frame, using those bolts to tighten it.

wonder what lights would look like all shaking and vibrating on it.

Maybe a cheap, quick might be try adding rubber grommets/washers to see if that works?

Thanks for the advice. I ended up just reinstalling it and tightening the mount arms to the tow hooks as hard as I could and avoiding the lp of the plastic skid plate. I think it’s much better now but a little vibration is inevitable.

This looks good. Is it just one piece or 4-5 pieces like the rough county version? It is onsale at amazon for $161...thinking about making the buy. Thanks!
3 pieces I think. The mounts and then the nudge bar itself.
