I've ordered a Smittybilt winch for my 2019 JLUR with the steel bumpers, do I need to order a seperate winch plate for it or will the bumper accommodate it as is? Also, where have people who have front licence plate relocated it to when you install the winch? First Wrangler, had Cherokees and no winch.

You will need a winch plate to mount the winch.

Depending on which type of winch you have, there are solutions for the front plate. I used this:

Worked great until I did a river crossing. Water pulled it out and I lost the plate. Just a heads up.

Thanks for reply. Do you have to buy the winch plate for the specific winch or does one size fit all?

I bought a SB winch as well along with a Mopar steel bumper. I bought a winch plate, bull bar tube, and skid plate all from JCR Off-road. I don’t have my JL yet but the JCR equipment feels and looks extremely well made and strong. Definitely worth looking at.

I went with a winch plate from Rusty's Offroad to mount my Smittybuilt X20 to, super easy install and super solid plate!

Call Qudratec, you will get a forum member discount. I used a Rustys offroad winch plate on my JLUR with factory steel bumper. For license plate relocation, I went with Cascadia 4x4. It is heavy duty... got it on black Friday special and they are forum sponsor as well.

That looks great! I did order from Quadratec but didn't know about the forum members discount at the time. I'll definately look harder for any parts in Canada in the future, price almost doubles with shipping, exchange and duties.
