    Winch Plate

    Hey Jon, I went through the entire bumper thread to see if you confirmed the plate would work with the stock bumper but wasnt able to find anything definitive... Will that plate work? If so, whats the cost and if I were to buy a winch/plate combo is there an idea of what that would run? Looking to do this probably within the next month or two, sliders will be ordered first but this is a mod Im definitely wanting to do after my adventures during lunch and almost getting stuck!!!

    I need to test fit the plate on a XK with a plastic bumper to confirm the location is correct and then they are ready to go. I have a WK coming in in mid February for those guys and I will talk to a local guy who is picking up OME stuff to see if we can test fit the plate on his XK.

    I'll be watching this too. While I will eventually have a full front bumper, this would allow me to do it in stages.

    Also take a look at the Engo winches. E9000S seems to be popular around my local clubs and is very affordable for a synthetic line winch at <$450

    I'm also interested. The GF told me I need a winch. She doesn't like when I wheel with only two vehicles

    I was driving around during lunch came across a trail going through power lines and decided to take a look.. Well that turned into thick much, duh snow just melted, and really put the MTRs, QDII and HEMI to the test.. Thats why I want a winch so I have the ability to wheel without worry. A steel bumper for a DD just doesnt make logical sense with the limited wheeling I do so winch plate with modded bumper is my plan..

    I just want to get to the point where people dont believe me when I tell them its a Commander! Lol I often get asked "what kind of jeep is that?" And after I say its a Commander they say "oh cool ive never seen one like that!".... swap out the bumpers and its really going to puzzle people! Lol

    And I did almost rip my front bumper off during my last wheeling trip...it'll be nice to have something that doesn't flex/crack when I have an "oops" moment.

    Yea I get that all the time when I go down to the local wheeling spot down by the river, everyone asks what is that and why are you bringing it here?!?! I just laugh and say watch me, I think they are more shocked at the noise and capability than anything, everyone is out there wit XJs and wranglers.. Its amazing when I see a stock Commander on the road, people look at me like damn thats what mine could look like, they look so pathetic stock!!

    oh yes I have gotten multiple "Huh?" "When did Jeep make that"? ......However, everytime I pass a XK on the road its a damn woman! lol

    I did have one guy stare me down in his tinted out XK a few weeks ago

    And I only have ever seen (1) lifted XK but I think she bought it that way

    Any updates? I bet we could get a good order going... Andrew + Adam + Matt +......

    Jon, do you have a drawing for the winch plate? I can take a look at the dimensions and see how I think it'll work on my XK; could even do the test fit for you here.
