Thanks for reaching out John. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit with Removable Arms # RM24VR is compatible with Jeeps equipped with the Warn Zeon 10-S winch, but it requires the factory steel bumper. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 is compatible with the 392 models, but it is not compatible with a winch.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to locate a traditional base plate kit that's compatible with your combination of the AEV EX Front Bumper and AEV Front Skid Plate. For one of the conventional base plate kits we carry to work, you would likely need to make significant modifications to the bumper and potentially remove the aftermarket skid plate. The issue is that the AEV bumper and skid plate wrap around the lower portions of the Jeep's frame, which interferes with the frame mounting locations normally used by traditional base plates.

We only carry the conventional frame-mounted base plate systems, but I'm sure there's a solution out there for you. You may want to check with AEV or a company specializing in aftermarket Jeep flat towing setups to see if they offer an approved tow-point solution specifically engineered for that bumper.

Did you add your AEV bumper aftermarket or is your Jeep the 20th Anniversary Level 2 Edition?
