About the brand
GateKeeper Off-Road started in a two-car garage in Tracy, California and now machines its parts in-house in San Andreas, California. They're best known for the patented Knuckle Pod steerable light mounts, which bolt to your steering knuckles so your pods turn with the wheels and light up the corners. NVMOS carries their Knuckle Pod mounts plus heated wiper blade kits, hood vents, license plate relocation kits and seat lowering brackets...

These are GateKeeper's steerable Knuckle Pod light mounts in the version built specifically for MetalCloak's heavy duty cast iron knuckles on the 2018+ Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT. If you have already swapped to MetalCloak Iron Knuckles on your Dana 30 or Dana 44, the standard JL/JT Knuckle Pod mount is not the one you want. This is.
The idea is the same as the rest of GateKeeper's patented Knuckle Pod line (US Patents 11,254,259 and 11,524,622). The mounts bolt to the steering knuckles, so a pair of pod lights turns with your front wheels. You get light into the corner or onto the obstacle you are steering toward rather than straight ahead into the trees, and the low position puts light under fog, dust, rain and snow instead of bouncing off it.
Fitment
- 2018+ Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT with MetalCloak heavy duty cast iron knuckles (D30 or D44)
- GateKeeper also lists Reid knuckles as compatible
- Does not fit RockJock knuckles
- Works with stock wheels; GateKeeper notes it performs better with offset wheels
Build and install
Each mount is a two-piece design in 3/16 in. steel, laser cut, CNC bent and powder coated black, sold as a pair with grade 8 hardware included. It is a bolt-on install that uses factory hardware. GateKeeper recommends professional installation and publishes an install PDF. These are intended for off-road use.
Picking lights
Size matters here because the light lives on a moving, bouncing knuckle. GateKeeper recommends pods no bigger than 2.25 x 2.25 x 2.25 in. and 10 oz or less each. Bigger or heavier lights put more stress on the mount and fall outside what GateKeeper recommends. Our recommended pod lights stay inside those limits. Lights and wiring are sold separately, and you will need to route wiring with enough slack for full steering lock and suspension travel.
Covered by GateKeeper Off-Road's warranty; see the GateKeeper Off-Road warranty summary. Not sure which knuckles you have? Call or text real humans at (920) 249-7744 and we will check fitment before you order.

Jeep JL / JT MetalCloak Iron Knuckle Steerable Pod Light Mounts (2018+ Gladiator/Wrangler) FAQs
Do I need this version or the standard JL/JT Knuckle Pod mount?
This version is for Jeeps running MetalCloak heavy duty cast iron knuckles. If you are on the stock Dana 30/44 knuckles, use GateKeeper's standard JL/JT Knuckle Pod mount.
Will these fit RockJock knuckles?
No. GateKeeper lists MetalCloak and Reid knuckles as compatible and says RockJock knuckles are not.
What pod lights fit these mounts?
GateKeeper recommends pods up to 2.25 x 2.25 x 2.25 inches and 10 oz each. Our Recommended Pod Lights for GateKeeper Knuckle Pods collection lists pods inside those limits.
Are lights included?
No. The mounts are sold as a pair with hardware. Lights and wiring are sold separately.
