Will the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Fit 2021 Jeep Gladiator With Steel Bumper and Winch

Question

Question:

I am looking to add the Blue Ox base plate kit to my 21 Jeep Gladiator. It looks like it will work with the steel bumper, but I also have a winch installed. Will this be a problem?

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR will fit your 2021 Jeep Gladiator with the factory steel bumper even with the winch installed, which has been confirmed by Blue Ox. This kit has a hidden design with removable arms to provide a clean, seamless look when you are not flat towing. It has a bolt on installation, so no welding is required.

I have attached an installation video on a 2021 Jeep Gladiator for your reference.
