This all-inclusive winch mount kit includes everything you need to put the Smittybilt XRC GEN3 series winch in the "winch-ready" factory steel bumper found on many Rubicons and specialty trim packages for the Wrangler JK; including the Rubicon Recon, Hard Rock, X, 10th & 75th Anniversaries. Whether you have a Rubicon or a specialty trim package with the factory steel bumper, this winch mount takes the guesswork out of choosing the right part for your steel bumper. The kit includes the Smittybilt XRC GEN3 winch of your choice and the Maximus-3 frame-mounted winch mount giving you everything you need to go from no winch to ready to recover on the trail adeptly. We offer additional (but optional) parts that may help you complete your front bumper winch setup. The winch hook anchor provides a convenient place to store your hook so it is not against the bumper, the filler trim plates fill the gaps between the frame and bumper after the installation (the factory plastic trim piece is removed during the install), the d-ring loops attach to the bottom of the winch mount allowing for more flexibility when recovering, and the license plate mounts cleanly allow for the install of a license plate for those required to have one by their state.

This inboard chassis-secured winch mount is built to the Warn specification of 1/4" thick one-piece heavy gauge steel in a laser-cut, press brake, and welding process. Cleverly engineered to provide a structurally sound mount for your winch, this is the most tried and true winch mount on the market and has been trusted by RubiTrux for years on both our customer builds well as our own. This winch mount kit for the Wrangler JK factory steel bumper includes everything needed to install about every winch available on the market, including the Warn Zeon, Warn VR, Smittybilt X20, Smittybilt XRC GEN3, Superwinch SX, as well as many other small body winches. Most winches on the market will be mounted in the centered orientation, with the Warn CTi & PowerPlant being the exceptions that will be off-center (PowerPlant will require trimming of the bumper).

Faster, Stronger, Easiest to Use. The Smittybilt XRC GEN3 line of winches has been completely redesigned from the ground up with innovative, user-friendly features and improved power efficiency. The 7 horsepower motor brings an average line speed increase of 12% over its GEN2 counterpart, adding more speed and power with less AMP draw while under load. The ergonomic remote controller integrates a Load Indicator Warning System, so you will always know how much your equipment can handle. Recovery in dark conditions is a breeze with the remote’s built-in flashlight; when additional light is needed, a 12-volt power post is located on the control box meaning you are ready for anything. Two magnets are built into the controller for convenient placement on steel surfaces, leaving it out of the way when not needed. A high-visibility clutch lever features large lettering, allowing you to see whether your winch is engaged or free spooled at a glance. The XRC GEN3 line of winches are backed by a lifetime mechanical warranty and a 5-year electrical warranty.
