I have a 2019 JL with the factory steel bumper, and I purchased the Warn winch plate 101255. What winch does everybody recommend that will fit that plate? I really don't need anything to radical, I am just looking for a clean look on the factory bumper.




Thanks All

No way you can go wrong with a Zeon. However, it was beyond my comfort spend level.
I just ordered the Warn VR 10-S. Hopefully it arrives next week so I can install on my factory bumper with Warn winch plate.

good luck!

New to the JL line of Jeeps. Is it possible to mount a winch on the factory bumper on a JLU Sport? Are there any attachment points for a winch plate under the rubber cover?

I went with this winch as well as the Zeon was pricey.

Nope, you either need the factory steel bumper + winch plate or an aftermarket steel bumper. One of the many reasons the steel bumper package was worth it for me.

I nabbed a Smittybilt X20 12K at Christmas on sale for $375. I have used it once and have been happy with it thus far. I also looked at Warn, but for the price, I could buy a number of Smittybilts.

I am using the OEM steel bumper and a Warn winch plate.

Thanks for everyone's input! I went to my local Jeep shop and ended up with the Rugged Ridge Trekker S10. Pics to follow.
