Default Hard Rock Bumper what winch plate?
Just traded in my 09 for a '16 Hard Rock. I want to mount my Smittybilt XRC 9.5 winch anyone with personal experience doing this? I have read about some issues with the mopar mount. Anyone use the bulldog mount? Any input and pics would be appreciated.

Maximus-3 sells HR/10A specific mounts for several winches.

Yep seen their stuff, it's cool and pricey. Anyone got personal experience with it? What about recent experience with mopar plate, lot of talk on here about early issues.

My brother in law has a 15 Hard Rock. We used the Mopar winch plate with a Warn winch no issues. Sits nice and
low. Thinking your winch would be similar.

I have a 2016 Hard Rock and installed my Smittybuilt X20 10k with the Maximus 3 winch plate. It went in really easy. There customer service is top notch. I emailed them the winch that I had and they told me exactly what parts I needed. I placed my order and they emailed me and said they could save me $30 by adjusting the order to ensure I didn't get a part I would not need. I would recommend them to anyone.

I just ordered the x hoop and auxiliary light brackets from them. Can't wait to get those items installed.

ConroeJK, how are you liking the winch mount? Have you used your winch with it? Any issues? I am inclined to go with the same, but wanted to see if you are still pleased with it. I'm on the Richmond/Katy Line, small world.
