Overview
The Rugged Ridge X-Clamp, part number 11031.21, is a textured black universal mounting clamp for lights, cameras, antennas and other accessories on 1.25 to 2 inch diameter tubing. It is a patent pending X-Clamp mounting system that is not tied to one vehicle.
Pivotal Fit Technology lets you rotate the clamp to match the tube diameter, pivot the mounting bracket to the position you need, and then attach the accessory.
Key features
- Pivotal Fit Technology: rotate to match the tube diameter, pivot the bracket, then add the accessory
- Fits 1.25 to 2 inch diameter tubing
- Designed to mount lights, cameras, antennas and similar accessories
- Patent numbers 9,610,888, 9,145,084 and D773,110 are attached to the design, which is patent pending.
- Finish: textured black, part of a range that Rugged Ridge says includes three finishes
Pairing clamps with other accessories
Tube clamps often end up sharing a roll bar or bumper with other mounts, such as cameras, antennas or additional light brackets. Plan the layout so each device has room to pivot and no bracket blocks another accessory’s view or signal path.
Antennas and cameras may need their own cable routing and clearance from metal. Keep cables off hot exhaust and moving parts, and leave slack so the bracket can be re-angled without strain on the connector.
Consider the total weight on the tubing when adding accessories. Spreading devices across more than one mount reduces stress on any single clamp and makes adjustments easier after trail changes. Mark original positions with a paint pen so you can return to a known angle.
- Plan layout before drilling
- Leave cable slack at each pivot

Vehicle fitment
The X-Clamp is a universal mount, not vehicle-specific. Tube diameter decides fit, so any 1.25 to 2 inch tubing works regardless of the vehicle.
Check that the tubing you plan to mount to falls within 1.25 to 2 inch diameter before ordering. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Mounting is done in three steps: rotate the clamp to match the tube diameter, pivot the bracket to the position you want, and attach the accessory. The clamp does not include the lights, cameras or antennas it is designed to hold.
What’s included
The X-Clamp mounting clamp and its finish make up the kit. Check the contents against your installation before starting.
Not included: The lights, cameras, antennas or other accessories you mount with the clamp.
