I'm with you, but I'll go with the Signature series to get the winch down and out of the way of the radiator. I had a winch mounted up high on my JK and I had zero issue with overheating, but I just feel better with it lower. As far as why, I'm going to speculate that they built the Destroyer to tuck in tighter to the front increasing approach angles.I just checked out the Signature vs. Destroyer. I like the looks of the Destroyer better than the Signature but why is the Winch mounted so high on the Destroyer vs. the Signature?
Two year later followup.

How do you like the set up? I am looking for a bumper/ set up now for my 2020 that I can use my Blue Ox bar on .Two year later followup. I ended up with the Hardrock Aluminum Patriot Midwidth and flat tow with a Roadmaster hitch.
It worked flawlessly towing from Washington State to Anchorage Alaska. Very happy with the bumper. Love the Loadmaster Nighthawk tow yoke and the use of the Duo Stay in Play brake.How do you like the set up? I am looking for a bumper/ set up now for my 2020 that I can use my Blue Ox bar on .

Anyone planning on flat towing their new JLU? Looks like Blue Ox makes a base plate for the JL to use with the stock Bumper. Do any of the aftermarket bumper folks make a bumper that can be used with a blue ox yoke?
Did you choose aluminum based on the weight difference or another preference? My first thought is the steel would be stronger and they appear to be a couple hundred cheaper? New to Jeep life so any feedback would be great help.We have the same bumper in the mid-width and use a Roadmaster Nighthawk tow yoke.

Thanks for the info !!Yes I chose the aluminum for the weight savings. The winch is heavy enough.
Got the new bumper on a few weeks ago and towed it around with RV, worked great. Thanks for the info and sending me in the right direction !!Thanks for the info !!
