The winch plate is made in the US, it's the Maximus-3 plate and it's very stout. I know Superwinch has winches made in the US but I'm not sure the one I bought is. I've had Superwinches on previous jeeps and I've never had any issues with them.
Finally started making some changes. Micky Thompson Baja Boss AT 35x12.5 on Raceline Scouts, JCR mid-width bumper and a Superwinch. Next is a lift...so many to choose from, but I'm leaning towards the Rusty's Off-Road 2'' basic kit.

Thanks for the write up and the info regarding the two kits. I have been going back and forth between the AEV 2'' and the Mopar and will probably go with the Mopar. Please share a photo of the final install with tires.

Nice rig and looks like it was a great adventure. Are you running 35's? I already have 35's on order and I'm looking at the AEV 2.5'' kit for my JTR.
