It will have two small 1/4" holes centered in the front face for a lisc plate.

Pricing will be the same as the current Winch Mount Stubby JK Front Bumper

Jim
Jim, did you guys ever determine if a winch could be mounted on a winch plate above the bumper, such as the Warn winchplate?

makes me want a shrockworks stubby even more.....

BUT I think you still need to offer a PO style stinger with headlight hoops like the TJ bumper for us JK'ers...

Yup. I just got my mid-width and now I'm waiting for Shrockworks to come out with a rear bumper/tire carrier that works with a factory tow hitch. Jim said it's coming. Will a prototype be available this month?

Yeah, I'm only interested in buying a rear bumper with an integrated hitch. At Camp Jeep, my Hitch dragged through just about every ditch I went through. Granted I'm still stock height for now, but still.

Jim, will your rear bumper with tire carrier have an integrated hitch? I'd love to complete the matching set (I have your rockrails installed and a stubby on order).

The design is cut around the stock hitch. It was back and forth on weather to go under or above the cross member and include it but we opted for the lower center of gravity and vision with having a large tire back there. Damned either way really, if we put the hitch above we'd have people not liking how high the tire is to get on and off, can't see, how bulky it looks and someone complaining about having to get a huge drop hitch.

give and take...

Unless I'm missing something clearance isn't an issue with that huge tin can of a muffler back there.

Yeah, that mufflers been gone almost a year now.

And the hidden hitch drags on everything. Maybe after I get a lift it will be better.
