  • Hello! I've reviewed the instructions for the Rugged Ridge JL Winch Plate. This document provides step-by-step guidance on installing the winch plate, including how to remove the factory bumper and install the plate with both Mopar and Rugged Ridge bumpers. I’m ready to answer any questions you have about the installation process or specific features of the winch plate.
  • What needs to be removed before installing the Winch Plate?
    Is it compatible with Rugged Ridge Spartacus Front Bumper?
    What is the first step in the installation process?
