I went with the Rusty winch plate and a smittybilt winch. Install was pretty straightforward

Have a good trip, and remember to post some pics from the area!Ok, now another question:
I have a factory steel bumper on my rubicon, which I like.
To install a winch, do I need to buy it with a new bumper? Hope nobody laughs, please. Starting to think mud and dirt...what brands does everyone like? I know there are other forums, but easier to ask friends.
Heading to NC mountains this weekend, hope to find some dirt!!

You are gonna love that OB and the PST! I sure do!My Sticker showed up early this morning! So, It looks like my Jeep is on her way here.
Looking at previous orders in Florida, it should only be about 2 more weeks.![]()
Keep in mind that when you get the all-weather mats you do not get the carpeted mats. In case you care. I got the all-weather mats after so that I would have both. But that's me.Im ordering my 2019 Jeep Rubicon JL from Dave Smith Motors in Kellogg Idaho in two weeks, I'm ordering my Jeep with the following options:
The total MSRP comes to $51,480, Invoice comes to $48,383, Dave Smith Motors pricing comes to $46,653 (they took $2K off of invoice, and, added $270 for fees) Feel like I'll be getting a great deal on the price!

Great to know Mike!Keep in mind that when you get the all-weather mats you do not get the carpeted mats. In case you care. I got the all-weather mats after so that I would have both. But that's me.
You bet! Jeeples helping Jeeples!Great to know Mike!Thanks so much for that! I might just have to go with some weather techs instead, I had them in my Subaru STI and they were AMAZING!
I've got the carpets and never used them after putting in the rubber mats. Still available if you have any regrets.Keep in mind that when you get the all-weather mats you do not get the carpeted mats. In case you care. I got the all-weather mats after so that I would have both. But that's me.
I checked on weather techs website yesterday to see if they have the 2019 mats available for the Wranglers yet and they’re only available for the Cherokee and the Compass right now. Love Weather Tech though! I have a review video I made of them on my YouTube channel; I’ll be posting tons more footage to my channel once my Rubi arrives! Thanks for liking my build!I've got the carpets and never used them after putting in the rubber mats. Still available if you have any regrets.
I'd stick with the plan to buy weather tech and be done. Good build. I'm sure you will enjoy it @Jeeprubicongurl
Are the Husky's a lot better? I've had the weather techs in my STI Limited and they fit super great! I really liked them a lot and are hoping they've provide the same coverage in the Rubicon!@Jeeprubicongurl
The WeatherTech's for the 2018 JL, will be the same as for the 2019, JL. I had the WeatherTech's in my 2018 JL, for about 3 months and then sent them back and went with Husky Xact Contours.
