    When I got the Rubicon LE, it came with the steel bumper which I was told would accommodate the addition of a winch .. When I decided to get the newer gen 10K Smittybilt installed, the shop told me I still needed to add a base plate for another $400+ ... that plus the added Mopar winch and grill guard basically double that project cost?
    Anyone know for sure or could recommend a Mod shop near Tucson that I could talk to about it .. and maybe have them do it?

    Need the winch plate. Last time I looked for the JK it was $300. Shop the online venders and maybe you can get a better price.

    Thanks for the Rock Hard suggestion but was told it won't fit the 2020 Gladiator and they don't have one yet for it.
