Badlands Apex rope cover plate?

[AustinL911]

I searched but didn't turn up much. I've got my Apex half installed at this point and want to relocate the solenoid/wireless controller/plug assembly to inside the engine bay, somewhere. This leaves a clean look in the bumper, IMO, but leaves the rope exposed to the elements. Anyone know where I can find a simple rectangle plate that would cover this area? It's in a RR Arcus bumper, if that matters. It should be easy enough to have one made up and powder coated, but I wanted to see if there was anything out there already before I went down that path.

Don't think you'll find anything.

But it would be easy to buy a piece of aluminum plate from HD or Lowes and shape it and drill your holes and then powdercoat or rattle can bed liner.

I've been thinking about a relocation as well. Personally I'm planning to keep it open but agree with the above solution.

Would love to know what you do to relocate as well. Let me know if possible.

Will do.

From experience, you would be better off with a neoprene winch cover instead of a solid metal plate. Why you ask?

Well It is really helpful to be able to see the line when being respooled. The winch cover is removable, a plate is not so easily removed. I can barely see my line on my Apex 12K winch in the Mopar steel bumper with a small bull bar and the solenoid on top and it's a PITA to respool the line.
