FITS PLASTIC FRONT BUMPER STEEL FRONT BUMPER WINCH PLATE HERE
Winch's are like an insurance policy - you need to have one and hope you never have to use it! Our factory bumper winch plates use the strength of your Jeep's frame to provide the most affordable way to give you the peace of mind of self-recovery. Single plate steel construction and compatibility with virtually all winch models make this the ultimate way to get your factory front bumper winch ready.
Unique to our winch plate is the "keyed' laser cut tabs that tie in to your existing factory tow hooks. These tow hooks are tied directly into your frame and provide the safest, most durable, and best way to add a recovery winch plate. Another feature is the integrated winch fairlead mount that accepts both roller and hawse fairleads.
Our winch plate is compatible with everything from the common 8,000 lb. winch offered by most manufacturers all the way up to the massive Warn Zeon! No drilling required, all winch bolt patterns are already laser cut into our mounting plate.
Ease of Installation Volumes of R&D went into this simple yet heavy duty addition to your factory front bumper. There is ZERO drilling, cutting, or welding required to install our Winch Plate.

Where is this mount made? This product, like all RH4x4 parts, was designed, developed, tested, manufactured, and if applicable, powder coated, and shipped in the USA. And we don't mean the 75% legal standard to be able to say Made in USA. We are 100% Made in the United States of America!
The install was incredibly easy. My daughter and I installed it after work in the dark. It has a very good look with the factory bumper. The included instructions were OK but the instructions on YouTube were much better.

Quick shipping and fairly easy installation. I made the mistake of tightening up the bolts too much and couldn’t get the bumper bolts to sit right. But going back and loosening them some, got the bumper bolts to line up correctly. Don’t put on the lower air dam until you hook up your winch �Great product for your Jeep gladiator if you like the stock bumper look. This thing is a solid pi
