Hello Joseph, thanks for getting in touch. While this is not something we have specifically tested on a 2024 Wrangler with a factory winch, generally the crossbar portion of a base plate like the # e44FV would be a problem for the winch/mounting plate.
What I recommend instead is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. This is for the 2024 Wrangler, only it does not use a crossbar connecting the base plate sections. This would free up space for the winch mounts. We have even confirmed with Roadmaster that this base plate will work with the factory steel bumper with the winch built into it. I definitely would go with this over the etrailer option, just so there are no doubts about compatibility. This will work with Roadmaster brand tow bars, but there are adapters available for other brands.
Do you already have a tow bar? If so, what brand is it?
