Stock Bumper Add-On Winch Plate - Jeep JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator

For owners who want a winch but want to keep the factory bumper. The CNC-designed plate tucks behind the stock bumper and locates the winch low, so it does not block airflow to the radiator and pulls at a good angle.

Specification

• Winch adapter base: 1/4" (6.4 mm) hot rolled steel
• Adapter plate mount: 1/8" (3.2 mm) hot rolled steel
• Rear support plate: 1/4" (6.4 mm) hot rolled steel
• Finish: Gold Zinc
• Fitment: Jeep JL Wrangler 2018 and up

Installation

Easy. 2-3 hours. No body modification.

What owners say

7 reviews averaging 94%. Two notes worth reading:

"Nothing bad to say about this winch plate. The powder coating is excellent, it fit with zero modification needed, and is super beefy (1/4" plate) compared to many others on the market. My one complaint would be the instructions." - 4/5

"Awesome heavy duty product but had problems hitting the motor for the electronic sway bar disconnect on my 2022 Rubicon. Due to this issue it didn't allow the winch plate to seat against the frame horn and had a 1/4" gap on both sides. I had to fab a couple 1/4" shims to make it work." - 4/5

Practical takeaway: on Rubicons with the electronic sway bar disconnect, check during installation that the plate seats against the frame - in isolated cases shims are needed.

Homologation: this product carries no European type approval. Road legality after installation is decided by the vehicle inspection station; check before buying if in doubt.
