Great product!
I bought this for a 2018 Rubicon Recon. The fit and finish is outstanding. The motor relocation bracket mounting was a breeze although I dont think I actually needed to use it. I mounted a Warm VR8000 and there was plenty of room on the driver side. I would highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to easily mount and install a winch.

Good product, but...
Just a small "but". If you've got the electronic disconnect for the sway bar the bushing holding it in place is in the way of fully mounting the plate. I had to mildly relocate it, and probably did it stupidly. Be prepared to either notch something or relocate that motor out of the way. Other than that, everything went smoothly. If my winch weren't quite so big (q9000 from Quadratec) I think the relocation of the vacuum pump would have been trivial.
