Question:
I have a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, JLU Rubicon recon edition with stock metal bumpers. I need a winch bracket that will work also with a blue ox flat tow bracket for the same vehicle and the same bumper. Thanks Chris

Hey Chris, do you have a Blue Ox base plate kit installed already? If not what your best option would be would be to go with a front bumper with a winch mount in it like you need and since those bumpers have D-rings on the front of them to then just go with the correct D-ring adapter for a Blue Ox tow bar like the part # BX88357 for if they are 7/8 inch diameter or part # BX88358 for if they are 1 inch diameter.

I have the stock metal bumpers from Jeep. I don’t want to replace the bumpers. My understanding is there is a bracket I can install from blue ox and also I need a bracket to install the winch with the factory metal bumpers. My question really is well. Those two brackets be compatible . Thanks.
