97- Jeep TJ Mounting Plate Kit

The WARN 37170 Jeep TJ Mounting Plate Kit is a purpose-built winch mount assembly designed specifically for 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models. This steel mounting plate kit comes complete with all hardware required for installation and features a durable black powder coat finish engineered to withstand corrosion and harsh off-road environments. Compatible with WARN rock crawler bumpers and WARN winches, this kit provides the structural foundation necessary for reliable winch integration on factory and aftermarket TJ bumper systems.

The kit's steel construction distributes winch load forces across the Jeep's frame geometry, a critical consideration for TJ owners planning serious recovery work or overlanding expeditions. The black powder coat finish resists moisture penetration and abrasion better than bare steel, extending the service life of the mounting assembly in wet, sandy, or salt-air conditions. All fasteners and hardware are included, eliminating the need for separate procurement and simplifying the installation process. At 30 pounds, the assembly adds minimal unsprung weight while maintaining the structural rigidity required for winch duty.

This mounting plate kit addresses the specific needs of TJ Wrangler owners who rely on winch capability for off-road recovery, trail work, or vehicle extraction. Whether integrated with a factory bumper or WARN rock crawler aftermarket bumper system, the kit ensures proper load alignment and frame attachment. Buyers upgrading their TJ with winch recovery equipment will find this genuine WARN component essential for safe, durable installation that supports both light trail use and serious backcountry recovery scenarios.
