Agree. My 2018 JKUR came with stock LEDs and they were wonderful. I bought my JT off the lot and was surprised to learn that LEDs weren’t standard on the Rubicon or Mojave trim. I may add them at some point but it’s hard to spend $1k+ after the fact to retrofit a factory option.

Yep, an important point to remember for all issues people post about on this forum. “My truck has worked great for 4 years with no issues” makes for a boring post. The most outspoken people on the forums are going to be the ones with issues which always makes it look like huge problems are more...

My view is that if opening the hood vents materially improved cooling (especially on the diesel), FCA would’ve done it from the factory.

For what it’s worth, I like the thimble style more than the flatlink. The thimble lets you use a shackle either on the pin end or loop end where a flatlink only lets you use the pin end. Not usually a huge deal but I like the versatility and having the thimble saved my butt winching off a fixed...

I did a similar setup. I would guess my droop is less than 1/2”. I’m planning to add a spacer back up front (I did the same thing with my JKU) but it’s pretty close to the same. More than it would be with a steel bumper.

Right—mine has a wireless on/off switch on the solenoid box. If there is a phantom draw I never noticed it in the 4+ years this winch was on my old rig.

If you can afford it (and don't get a lemon), the diesel is awesome. I've had a 3.6 since they came out on JKs in 2012 and the driving experience with the EcoDiesel is 1,000 times better. More torque and you really feel the acceleration. I can't imagine having a Gladiator with the 3.6. My wife...

I believe the Overland and Rubicon plastic bumpers are the same 3-piece construction. The Sports are different and only 2-piece. So the disassembly steps should be the same, I think.

I'm impressed you got it to fit without cutting more out of the front. I might not have tried hard enough but I didn't see a way I was going to squeeze it back on without cutting out that opening.

Looks great @AmishMike! What winch plate did you use? Finished up my install today--got it all wired up and put my line on there. I should probably get a cover...

I installed a winch on my stock plastic Rubi bumper (thread here). Not as clean as @aqcjeepGlad's but I'll take it!

I ran the stock bumper with a stubby kit and a Rock Hard 4X4 winch plate on my JKU for years before I got my JT and liked it a lot. Pictured here on my old Jeep in Moab... These days, I'm a fan of keeping things as stock as possible. I've always found I need a steel rear bumper more than a...
