The tactik skid plate is no longer available. Is there another one that would work?
If you're looking to pair a skid plate with the Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper, you have a few solid standalone options that protect the frame rails and sway bar area underneath. Since the QRC bumper mounts to the factory frame horns, independent under-bumper skid plates like the Quadratec Aluminum Modular Front Sway Bar Skid Plate or the DV8 Offroad Front Skid Plate are great alternatives.
Can this be made to fit a 2026 Jeep Gladiater Mojave, I love this bumper and want to install along with my Blue Ox BX1145 Base Plate ?
Unfortunately, no. The Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper is specifically engineered for 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK models and cannot be made to fit a 2026 Jeep Gladiator Mojave.

The front frame horns, crash structures, and body mounting points on the newer Gladiator JT platform are completely different from a JK. Additionally, aftermarket bumpers are not designed to accommodate or integrate with tow bar base plates like the Blue Ox BX1145; combining them would require extensive, custom fabrication and modification that compromises the structural integrity of both the bumper and your towing setup.
What sized winch is this rated for?
The Quadratec Front Winch Ready Bumper for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK features an integrated, heavy-duty winch tray designed with a standard 10" x 4.5" mounting pattern that is rated to accommodate most standard recovery winches up to 12,000 lbs capacity.
Does this bumper with a winch require the removal of the vac pump in a 2018 jeep jk
No, the Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper itself does not require the removal of the vacuum pump on your 2018 Jeep JK. However, the winch you choose to install may create interference that necessitates relocating the pump.
Is the QRC front bumpers rated for flat towing?
If a compatible tow bar system can clear the lower surface of the QRC bumper, that would allow flat towing. However, a tow bar should not be directly attached to the d-ring tabs or any other locations on the QRC bumper, as it is not rated for flat towing. Sorry for any inconvenience.
I live in a state that requires a front license plate. None of the pictures show a front plate. Is there a mounting point that just isn't shown?
Fairlead mounted license plate brackets will be the most convenient without drilling. 12107.0912 is a good option with Hawse fairleads common on synthetic winch line models.

I have purchased the Quadratec QRC Front Winch Ready Bumper for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK and having a difficult time getting the winch to fit on it. There is a vacuum solenoid that interferes with the winch mounting. Do I need to add spacers or add a plate for the winch?
If the size winch you you interferes with the vacuum pump 12-16 JK models are equipped with, the pump will require relocation with a bracket. See the following link for a bracket option Vacuum pump relocation kit. Thanks for your inquiry.
