Will the Bulldog Winch Off-Road Plate for 2018 Toyota Tacoma Work With Aftermarket Grille Guard

Question:

I currently have a ranch hand legend grille guard on my truck, would this be able to mount and allow me to keep my existing grille guard on?

In order to have both a grille guard and winch mounting plate installed together on the front of the vehicle you must choose one that has both integrated into one another as they will not work together unless this is done because they generally mount in the same location. The best option we have for this on a 2018 Toyota Tacoma is the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard with Winch Plate part # 40-93885. That said, we also have the Westin MAX Bull Bar with Winch Mounting Tray part # 46-41605-23885 if you prefer a bull bar which is a bit more cost effective.

Unfortunately, the Bulldog Winch Off-Road Winch Mounting Plate for Toyota Tacoma part # BDW23001 is not deigned to be used with an aftermarket grille guard.
