Choosing Base Plate Kit for 2024 Jeep wrangler Rubicon With Steel Bumper and Winch  

Updated 08/22/2024 | Published 08/19/2024

Question:

I had a 2019 Ram 1500 with Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms with BlueOz tow bar and Roadmaster adapters. just got 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 with steel bumper and factory winch. I have a BlueOx Tow bar and Adapters for the Roadmaster. So I can use both. What is the easiest and best Base plate to use that is not that visible. BlueOz BX1139 Baseplate seems to hang low and is very visible. The Roadmaster RM35GR or RM-521453-5 will this work with winch ? I cant find any pictures or videos of what both base plate look like on 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 with steel bumper and factory winch. Do you have Install videos on the steel bumper with factory winch ? Will the CURT 58964 wire harness work for my Jeep ? If not which one. Thank you

Hi Tony; I see you already ordered the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM35GR which will fit your bumper with the winch. There really isn't much of a difference between this and the # RM-521453-5 since it sits behind the plastic under your bumper with only the arms sticking out.

You can compare the two in the pictures below from Roadmaster. It isn't the easiest to see but is the best side by side comparison I can offer. I would choose either of these over the Blue Ox. Also yes, the Curt Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # C96JR (58964) will fit.
