APEX CRS Universal Mounting Bracket
An APEX universal mounting bracket for the Compact Reel System. Unlike the brackets dedicated to particular Jeep models, the manufacturer describes this one as suitable for a variety of applications - you choose the mounting point yourself. The CRS reel and inflation chucks are sold separately.
APEX CRS Universal Mounting Bracket
The CRS reel is compact enough to fit where a conventional hose reel never could.
The remaining problem is giving it something to hold on to - that is what this bracket is for. It is not tied to one vehicle, so you choose the mounting point yourself.

Who it is for
For CRS owners whose vehicle is not covered by a dedicated bracket, and for anyone who wants to mount the reel somewhere unusual - in a build, in a load bed or on a trailer.
Installation and notes
The manufacturer publishes no dimensions or material anywhere, so those are not here. It does give the kit contents in the install instructions from the INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS tab: four M6x1.0 screws 16 mm long at 5 ft-lbs and two M6x1.0 nyloc nuts. The reel can be mounted knob up or knob down. Before buying it is worth offering the mounting point up together with the reel - in particular the hose routing and access to the knob.
Frequently asked questions
Is the CRS reel included?
No. The bracket only - the reel and chucks are sold separately.
Will it fit my vehicle?
It is a universal bracket, so you choose the mounting point yourself. If you run a Jeep JL, JKU or Gladiator, look at the dedicated brackets first - fitting will be simpler.
Are bolts included?
Yes. The manufacturer does not say so on the product page, but the install instructions list four M6x1.0 screws 16 mm long and two M6x1.0 nyloc nuts, with the screws going to 5 ft-lbs.
Why it is worth it
- mount the reel where you actually have room
- a genuine APEX Designs and Performance Products part
