Westin 2018-2021 Jeep JL Wrangler (2dr/4dr) WJ2 Winch Tray - Black

Westin WJ2 Winch Tray for Jeep JL Wrangler – Black

If you are running a 2018–2021 Jeep JL Wrangler and thinking about adding a winch, this Westin WJ2 winch tray makes the job easier. It’s made for JL models only, so the fit feels right from the start. Both 2-door and 4-door versions are covered here.

The tray bolts straight to the vehicle using heavy-duty brackets. No cutting, no drilling the frame, which most people prefer anyway. It’s built from thick steel and tested to handle a straight-line pull of 16,500 lbs. For trail recovery, getting unstuck, or helping another vehicle out, this rating is more than practical.

The black powder-coated finish helps slow down rust and general wear, especially if the Jeep sees mud, water, or winter roads. It also keeps a clean look behind the bumper, nothing oversized or awkward sticking out. One thing worth mentioning, the design spreads load across the mounting points, so during a pull the stress doesn’t hit just one area.

Winch installation stays simple. The tray is pre-drilled for hawse and roller fairleads, and most common winch sizes line up without much effort. Clearance is decent too, so you’re not fighting bolts or spacing issues halfway through the install. Overall it feels like a setup that was actually test-fitted, not guessed.
