Lighting Options We've included the welded on light mounting tabs, now you just need to add a light! FAQ: What winches are compatible with our mounting plate? 99% of the popular winch brands fit our mounting plate including Warn(TM), Quadratec(TM), Superwinch(TM), Smittybilt(TM), and many more. The only known winch that does not fit is the Warn(TM) 8674 due to its inherent mounting points. Please check with your winch manufacturer if you still are not sure about compatibility. Currently new generation Smittybilt Gen 3 winches do not appear compatible.
What finishes are available? RH4x4 winch mounting plates ship powder coated black with a semi-smooth, semi-gloss finish. Raw, paintable finish available upon request.
Material? Our JL winch mounting plates are made from 100% 1/4" steel for a lifetime of use and abuse.
Do I have to cut or trim my frame? No cutting required.
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!

Product: Lifetime Coating (if applicable): Due to varying climates and individual use, we cannot offer a warranty on powdercoating.
As stated - works great with a WARN EVO but the assembly process is tough on a loaner. Would recommend revising instructions to remove both the bumper brackets - then it is a lot easier to get the bolts started and the outside ones can be quickly put back in.

Bullet Proof Winch Plate
As usual, Rock Hard 4x4 went above and beyond on the build quality of this winch plate. I dont think you'll find a more heavy duty capable winch plate on the market. I have used RH 4x4 products on 3 different builds and the build quality is send to none. Rh definitely builds some of the most heavy duty trail capable products on the market. The instructional video on YT is very helpful as well for
This is the second round of part for my project Gladiator. The full sport cage was an amazing product and fit, super easy to install. Now upgrading the factory steel number with winch bracket and bumper guard. Will continue to be a return customer and recommend them as well

Quality product
I compared several mounts and wanted this one for the following reasons. 100% made in the USA. Family owned and operated small business (that’s America). Simple design, nothing complicated. Price and availability.This is the second item I have ordered from Rockhard and both had arrived well packaged and expeditiously. Thank you Rockhard crew. Ever get out out flat Nebraska and want to hit the Sierra “hard rock� look me up.

Works Great for Badland Apex 12k Winch

I big selling point is I noticed he did not have to cut or grind on the winch lever (ak
