I’d love to get your front d-rings.... but I didn’t buy your winch plate. These absolutely won’t work with Arctec’s winch plate? I ask because this link makes the look like they mound outboard of the frame: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/goto/post?id=807041 What do you think about all the aftermarket ones that don’t require a matching winch plate?

Also, are you going to offer a fathers day discount?

FYI this is how the D-ring loops are installed on the Maximus-3 winch plate.

They must have redesigned the product. Check out the ones from my link. Totally different design.

Those are two different products. The ones in your link are the Tow Loops. The ones I posted are the D-ring loops. They sell both and they mount differently.

Thanks for the response. Somehow those never showed up on my search of their site.

Hi @imbuere,
@James_a is correct, i believe you confused two different products Tow Loops & D-Ring Loops.

Maximus-3 JL Tow Loops = rated for flat-towing, also great for recovery operations. Mount to the outside of the chassis frame rails.
Maximus-3 JL D-Ring Loops = used for vehicle recovery operations. Designed to mount to our Maximus-3 JL winch plate (required for installation)

I recently purchased and installed the Maximus Winch Plate to my JL. Good product with a somewhat ease of installation. Well integrated with the Mopar steel bumper and should perform well to my expectations. The only problem I encountered was that once the supplied bumper filler plates are installed, it shifted the whole dynamic forward by about 1/4". This shift makes the skid plate 2 rear mounting bolts unusable without further modification.

From what I’ve read, this will be the case with all winch plates.

Thanks Brandon. Now that I think about it...yeah, in order to marry the plate to the bumper the tolerances will always be off no matter which plate you use.

The skid plate brackets (on the frame horn) can be loosened and adjusted to fit.

Are you referring to the little cups that sit on the end of the frame? You’re saying if those are put in loose the skid plate holes don’t need elongated?

@Maximus-3 , any confirmation that the Apex Badlands 12k winch sold by Harbor Freight works with your mounting plate? Thanks!

I do not have first or second-hand experience with that particular winch. According to the published dimensions, that winch should fit just fine. I have a customer testing this out now, should have his feedback early next week.

If I was a betting man, I would bet yes. Stay tuned for confirmation.
