Rock Hard 4x4 is very proud to offer the easiest way to install a recovery winch onto your Jeep Wrangler JK 2/4DR 2007 - 2018.Winch's are like an insurance policy - you need to have one and hope you never have to use it! Our factory bumper winch plates use the strength of your Jeep's frame to provide the most affordable way to give you the peace of mind of self-recovery. Single plate steel construction and compatibility with virtually all winch models make this the ultimate way to get your factory front bumper winch ready.
Unique to our winch plate is the "keyed' laser cut tabs that tie in to your existing factory tow hooks. These tow hooks are tied directly into your frame and provide the safest, most durable, and best way to add a recovery winch plate. Another feature is the integrated winch fairlead mount that accepts both roller and hawse fairleads.
Our winch plate is compatible with everything from the common 8,000 lb. winch offered by most manufacturers all the way up to the massive Warn PowerPlant! No drilling required, all winch bolt patterns are already laser cut into our mounting plate.

These hoops mount to laser cut holes built into all RH-5010 Winch plates.
