This is my 3rd Rock Hard winch plate on three different Jeeps…all 3 have been very solid and dependable. The installation is easy without any cutting. Again, this is on a 2023 gladiator with a factory plastic bumper.
It attaches directly to the frame using pre drilled holes. They make one for a plastic bumper and a separate one for a steel bumper. No change in temperature since I put it on about 4500 miles ago. I’ve had the same setup on my last 2 jeeps without any issues.
You can look up your specific winch...
I have a Sport S with the plastic bumper and chose to go with a Rock Hard winch plate. I already had a Smittybuilt 10,000 lb winch From my prior JK. I also tow behind my motor home and had to add a base plate. Installing the winch plate on a winch ready bumper should be easy…
It’s a one beer...
