Is There Base Plate Kit Available for 2020 Jeep Wrangler with Warn Winch

Published 09/04/2025

Question:

I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon with a front Warn Winch. I need to know the base for my Jeep and how to install it. I have a steel pan under the winch. Do I have to cut it to install the base plate?

Hey Steven, does your bumper have D-rings on it? If so, you could use a D-ring adapter/base plate kit like the # RM-035-1 since you have a bumper and winch setup that would prevent a frame mounted base plate kit from fitting. Do you have a tow bar already as well?

@StevenC I wish I could attach pictures in comments to show you what they look like but if you check out the product pictures of the # RM-035-1 you can see them in the installed pictures. They look like tabs welded to the front of the bumper with holes in them that a pin could go through.

I do not have D-rings on my 2020 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.

@SteveC Is it a stock bumper that has a winch installed or is it an aftermarket bumper?

I think it is a after market.

@Steven Hmm that's tough because if that's the case and you don't have D-rings I am not sure if there's a base plate kit we can guarantee will work.
