I have a 2021 Rubicon with the factory steel bumper and LED fog lights, and I am weighing my options with regards to adding a winch. I am looking at a Warn VR EVO 10-S winch, so I would need a winch plate to mount it to the steel bumper. In addition, I want to add a bar to the bumper. As I was browsing for options, I ran across the Barricade Adventure HD, and it includes both a winch plate and a bar as a part of its design, and costs less than adding the plate and bar to my existing bumper. However, I am finding conflicting information on installing it on a JL Rubicon.

I was wondering:
  1. Any installation issues to be aware of,
  2. Do the LED fog lights install without modification,
  3. Can I reinstall the factory skid plate once this new bumper is attached, and
  4. Is there any potential issue with the Warn VR EVO 10-S and this bumper?
The biggest question is would this be a smart move over keeping the existing steel bumper that my Rubicon came with?

Thanks.

I have this bumper. Install was straight forward. Fog lights fit right in. The factory skid plate will not work unless you do your own modifications. And I am running a 12k winch on mine and it fits perfectly.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Now to see what skid plate options are out there...

I'm now looking at changing gears... I spoke with Maximus-3 earlier this morning and confirmed that the factory steel skid plate on my 2021 Rubicon will still mate with the factory steel bumper my Jeep came with if I install the Maximus-3 winch plate. This way I keep my factory steel bumper, which I like, and get to keep the factory steel skid plate as well. Plus, I don't have to worry about the LED fog lights fitting, as apparently the Rubicon comes with different LED fog light brackets.
