Anyone make a winch plate for the JL yet?

PaulNY · Mar 6, 2018

So, I have this really pretty, shiny, new Warn Zeon 10s sitting in my garage. It feels neglected, and well frankly I don't blame it

I know Mopar makes a winch plate, but my dealer says it's not available and doesn't appear that it will be anytime soon. So, has anyone heard of a vendor that currently has a winch plate available so my little buddy has a place to finally rest his head?

American Trail Products and Rusty's off-road do but I can't speak for the quality of either one. I have a vr10 sitting on my work bench waiting for it's mount and jeep.

As mentioned, those companies have one and so does Rusty's. Like the two of you, I have a ZEON 10S just waiting to get installed as well but I'm holding out for a company that I trust.

Eddie, I know you are not a fan of JCR off-road, but upon searching it appears they have one as well. Any reason to at least not recommend their winch plate? Or, would you utilize Rusty's or ATP's first? I am trying to be patient lol. If you don't mind, what company are you waiting for and what are they telling you regarding lead time before their respective winch plate is ready?

Prob waiting for rancho, rockhard, daystar, and maybe evo to make one and I would do the same. They are all companies I trust

What Cozdude said ^^^

I may not wheel as hard as some but I do use my winch often enough to want mine installed. That being said, I'm not in that much of a hurry. Unless you just want it on for looks, I'd just sit tight and wait for a bit. :yup:

Eddie, you wouldn't need that winch so much if you would just let Cindy drive instead.

Maybe you should drive a Jeep with big tires.

Devils advocate here, I have no stake in any company, but isn't a winch plate just a 1/4" thick steel plate with bolt holes? Does it really matter who makes it?

As far as the quality of steel, yes. Oops, I don't mean to start a trade war.

To me it matters. I don't prefer to support companies who are full of themselves and JCR is one of those companies. Also, I'd rather support companies who work hard to make superior products. But then, that's just me.

LOL!! And then, there's this :crazyeyes:

Bolt it to the windshield washer fluid nozzles. Should be good.

Watch "JCR Winch Plate for Jeep Wrangler JL Rubicon Steel Bumper" on YouTube

JCR makes a universal winch plate that fits several brands including Warn.

It's a shame that JCR is lacking build quality and humble-ness. Their new JL front bumpers look very very nice, but like Eddie said, I couldn't see myself buying from them

Walter · Mar 9, 2018

Hmmm, I didn't know they were low end. Guess I know now, huh.

Aside from their arrogance, is JCR's winch plate a good quality product?

If it’s anything like their other stuff, no
