New guy here, hopefully I’m not repeating stuff already posted.

I just bought a new Gladiator Rubicon and have been setting it up for the trails. I was disappointed that the XRC didn’t protect the disconnect hardly at all and once mounted it’s in the way of the factory Rubicon Skid plate and mounting brackets. I couldn’t find any disconnect skid plate that works with this bumper, it makes no sense! I probably would have returned it if it wasn’t such a job to install it myself.

All is not lost, if you have an angle grinder, saws all and drill, the stock Rubicon skid plate can be made to work and it looks great also!

Here are a few pictures of the mounting brackets a skid plate modifications that I did.
