what is the winch rating, will this fit a 2025 gladiator Mojave
The bumper will physically bolt onto the frame of a 2025 Gladiator Mojave, but there are two critical fitment details to consider:
Skid Plate Modification: The Mojave's heavy-duty factory steel skid plate will interfere with the new bumper brackets. To keep your factory skid plate, you will need to trim or notch approximately 1 inch off the top edge of the plate.
Forward Trail Camera: If your Mojave (or other trim package) is equipped with a forward-facing camera, the grille guard hoop will partially block its view (the hoop is visible in the bottom portion of the camera image). If the partial obstruction bothers you, you would need an aftermarket camera relocation bracket to completely remove the hoop from the image.

For the QRC bumper, does a WARN VR EVO 10-S winch fit?
Yes, it does.

You said that front skid plate 12057-1010 would work with this bumper, but I can't find it on your website. Could you post a link to that skid plate please?
I apologize for the confusion regarding that part number. It appears there was an error in the previous information, as 12057-1010 is not a valid part number for a front skid plate. The correct part number is 12500-0208 or 12500-0201 (black or silver)

Hi Will this bumper accept a Rugcel EMCP 13500 winch?
The mounting bolt pattern is a match; however, Quadratec officially rates the integrated winch plate in the QRC bumper for winches up to 12,000 lbs.
While the winch will physically bolt down, using it at its maximum pulling capacity (13.5k) could technically exceed the structural design limits of the 6-gauge steel bumper or its mounting points on the Jeep's frame. In a maximum-effort recovery, you run a higher risk of bending the plate or shearing bolts compared to a 10k or 12k winch.
The Rugcel 13,500 is a "large body" winch, measuring roughly 20.8" to 21" in length. The QRC bumper has a recessed winch cavity. While most standard winches fit, some users have reported that the control boxes (solenoids) on larger 12k+ winches can hit the top grill guard hoop or require the control box to be relocated. If the Rugcel's control box is mounted directly over the drum, you may need to "clock" it or move it to the side to clear the bumper’s grill guard.

Will this fit factory LED fog lights from a 2020 jl wrangler?
The Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper is designed to reuse your factory fog lights, but there is a major compatibility exception: it will not fit the factory LED fog lights from a Rubicon steel bumper.
If your 2020 JL Wrangler has the standard plastic bumper (Sport or Sahara) with the factory LED upgrade, they should bolt right in. However, if your Jeep came with the factory steel bumper group, the mounting brackets on those specific LED fog lights are shaped differently and are incompatible with the QRC mounting points.

Will this bumper fit the badlands 12000 apex wench. Is there any mods needed for the factory skid plates?
The Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper is a strong match for your Jeep, and while it generally accommodates the Badland Apex 12,000 lb. Winch, there are some specific details regarding the tight fit and your factory skid plate that you should know before installing.
The Badland Apex 12,000 lb. Winch uses a standard 10" x 4.5" mounting bolt pattern, which matches the integrated winch plate on the Quadratec QRC Bumper.
Tight Clearance: User reviews specifically mention that the Badland Apex 12K is a tight fit in this bumper. The winch sits very close to the Jeep's grille.
Wiring: Pay close attention to your power wire routing; because the winch sits so close to the grille, you may need to angle the cables carefully to avoid rubbing.
The QRC Front Bumper is a direct bolt-on. However, many users report that the factory plastic air dam (skid plate) cannot be reinstalled without significant cutting or may not fit at all because the new bumper's winch plate hangs lower than the stock bumper.
Mojave Owners: The heavy-duty factory steel skid plate can be reused with minor trimming (about 1 inch) to clear the new bumper's brackets. Some owners have also successfully used a floor jack to provide slight pressure to align the holes without cutting, though trimming is the "official" recommendation.
Rubicon Owners: The factory steel skid plate from a Rubicon typically does not fit this bumper without custom modification or brackets.

Can you recommend a front skid plate that fits with this bumper

Can this bumper be used with flat towing behind an RV with a blue ox system? Another way to ask this is Will this bumper interfere with the Blue Ox system.
The Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper (12057-0141) will physically bolt onto the frame of your Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT, but there are critical factors to consider regarding interference and compatibility with a Blue Ox flat towing system.
Mounting Point Interference
The Blue Ox baseplate (like the common BX1139 for the JL/JT) and the QRC bumper both use the eight primary mounting holes on the frame horns.
The Problem: Most aftermarket bumpers are designed to sit flush against the frame horns. If you install a Blue Ox baseplate, it adds roughly 1/4" to 3/8" of steel to that mounting surface.
The Result: This often causes the bumper to sit slightly further forward than intended. You may need longer Grade 8 mounting bolts than what Quadratec provides, and you might have to slightly trim the plastic "air dam" or trim pieces that come with the bumper to clear the Blue Ox attachment tabs.
WARNING: The D-ring tabs on the QRC bumper are for recovery only and are not rated for flat towing.

Will this bumper setup allow for a tow bar to be attached so it can be towed behind an RV
This bumper is not rated for flat towing. We do, however, carry LoD, which is rated for flat towing with a few add-ons:
LoD's full line of bumpers
LoD Tow Bar Adapters
LoD Frame Tie In
