Reviews for Rugged Ridge 11543.16 Winch Mount Plate for 18-21 Jeep Wrangler JL & Gladiator JT with Factory Steel or Spartacus Front Bumpers

I chose this mounting plate because of the full flange for the front of the jeep frame. I am sure glad I did too. When putting the bumper back on the 4 studs on the inside of the frame rail are difficult to tighten. some other plates only use those studs on the inside of the frame rails. The extra attachment plate on the back side adds a fair bit of strength to the over all set up if using the factory steel bumper. I mounted the badlands apex 12000 and the mounting bolts lined up perfectly.

I do wish the kit included an option for the jeep factory bumper to have the plate behind the fair-lead to cover up the holes from the factory plastic insert.

Online reviews were positive - will have my own opinion when I install it.

Worked great on the OEM steel bumper on my 21 JLUR. Assembly was a breeze, and all hardware needed was included. I mounted a Quadratec Q-Performance Stealth winch to it with no issues.

Looks like it will be a clean install for my Smittybilt winch.

With the Spartacus bumper it fit super great

Well thought out and designed kit. Was easy to install on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator. It installed just fine to my winch ready steel front bumper.

This is a great, solid winch mount plate. Installed pretty easily on my MOPAR factory steel bumper. While the installation was fairly straightforward, the directions included were not. Some of the steps were reversed (i.e. more complicated/longer if you followed them). Still, an excellent purchase and great kit. Fit both the bumper and my new Quadratec Q-Performance Stealth Winch really well.

Very easy install nice product

Fit great very sturdy. Make sure to bolt down winch before reinstalling bumper.

Easy install, good instructions, simple to adapt factory skid plate brackets so that the skid plate re-installs. Smittybilt winch easily fit onto plate.
