Im voconsidI can answer my own question I purchased the bumper and nope not enough room for a base plate. But I called and confirmed with adapters I can tow from the d link mounts so that will be the way I go.
I really like the bumper and LED hoop is great.
A little criticism though Rough Country markets the JK version and a JL version when in fact the box that came states JK I called confirmed it is the same. But it includes a lot of fine adapters for hooking up the fog lights for a JK but you could have a JL version with a harness to adapt to the connector at the body. After I removed my factory bumper I had to totally dismantle it to remove the harness from it to use it with the new fog lights.
Also a note the LED light bar had another copy of instructions for installing the bumper but not the LED light or bar. What was apparent their was extra hardware and screws to mount the LED light in different applications. I figured it out but their is a video on you tube someone installing it on a JK and he didn't get instructions either and he used longer Allen bolts with a spacer well I used shorter ones his he could not fit the Allen wrench on it (too long) that was a clue he had it wrong but he made it work with pliers. I think I got it right. But just to state the proper instructions should be included to save others frustration.
It is well built bumper I really like it. LED fog and bar lights are very bright. I think it looks great!
By the way twice I called once to confirm towing and the other to confirm I got the right bumper and the support was good someone picked up right away and both were very courteous.
Looks great! How has it held up so far and what is the weight?I can answer my own question I purchased the bumper and nope not enough room for a base plate. But I called and confirmed with adapters I can tow from the d link mounts so that will be the way I go.
