Steel Bumper Winch Plate for Jeep Wrangler JL 2018-2026 & Gladiator JT 2020-2026

Plenty of factory steel bumpers on the Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT get sold as "winch ready" yet offer nowhere to actually bolt a winch. Artec's Steel Bumper Winch Plate (JL5611) fixes that with a 1/4" steel mounting platform that drops into the OEM steel bumper, plus a 16-gauge aluminum front cover stamped with Artec A-blade logos to finish the opening. Because Artec worked from original OEM 3D files supplied by Jeep, WARN, and Superwinch, the plate lines up with the bumper and the winch feet without trimming or guesswork. It is the clean way to add recovery capability while keeping the factory front end you already paid for.

Features

• 1/4" steel winch plate, strong where it counts without the bulk of heavier competitor designs
• 16-gauge aluminum front cover with stamped Artec A-blade logos dresses the bumper opening
• Durable black powder coat finish on the components
• Winch can be preinstalled on the plate before the bumper goes back on the truck
• Engineered from OEM 3D data from Jeep, WARN, and Superwinch for direct alignment
• Direct bolt-in with included hardware and 1/4" offset spacer plates, no cutting or welding
• CNC laser cut and bent in-house, made in the USA

This plate fits the factory steel front bumper only, so confirm your JL (2018+) or JT (2020+) is wearing the OEM steel unit before ordering, and check your winch against Artec's application list — most WARN (including Zeon and VR EVO), most Smittybilt, and most Superwinch models fit, with the Superwinch EXP being the known exception. Adding lights to the same bumper? See the Front Bumper Light Bridge Mount and the 30in Light Mount. Prefer a full aftermarket bumper instead?
