Rock Slide Engineering Winch Delete Kit | Aluminum Cover Plate | 300 Series Bumpers | 2018-2026 Wrangler JL & 2020-2026 Gladiator JT | SKU FB-300-WDP

The Rock Slide Engineering Winch Delete Kit (SKU FB-300-WDP) is the aluminum cover plate that fills the winch opening on Rock Slide Engineering 300 Series aluminum front bumpers (FB-F-300-JL and FB-S-300-JL) when a winch is not installed. Precision-fit to the 300 Series bumper's winch cavity. Powder-coated textured black to match the bumper finish. Removable — if a winch is added later, the delete kit comes off without modifying the bumper. Estimated 1-hour install. Made in the USA.

This kit is compatible with Rock Slide Engineering 300 Series aluminum bumpers only. It is NOT compatible with factory bumpers, steel Appalachian bumpers, or non-Rock Slide aftermarket bumpers.

Common Questions

What does this kit actually do?
The Rock Slide Engineering 300 Series aluminum front bumpers (FB-F-300-JL and FB-S-300-JL) include an integrated winch plate and winch opening designed for a winch. If you are not running a winch, the opening is exposed. The FB-300-WDP is an aluminum cover plate that fills that opening cleanly — same powder-coat finish as the bumper, bolt-on install, no gaps.

Can I remove it later if I add a winch?
Yes. The delete kit is designed to be removed when a winch is installed. No modification to the bumper is required for removal or reinstallation.

Does this fit the steel Appalachian bumpers (FB-F-310-JL, FB-S-310-JL)?
No. This kit is specifically designed for the 300 Series aluminum bumpers (FB-F-300-JL and FB-S-300-JL). The steel Appalachian bumpers use a different winch opening geometry and this kit will not fit them.

Is there a weight discrepancy I should know about?
Yes — your source data lists 15 lbs, but authorized distributors list approximately 5 lbs for what is described as a lightweight aluminum cover plate. The 15-lb figure may be shipping weight including packaging. Verify actual product weight with Rock Slide Engineering before ordering if this is relevant to your build.

The Obsidian Take

The FB-300-WDP is for the JL or JT owner running a Rock Slide Engineering FB-F-300-JL or FB-S-300-JL aluminum front bumper without a winch — and who wants the winch opening filled cleanly instead of left exposed. Aluminum, powder-coated to match, bolt-on, removable when a winch is eventually added.

One check before ordering: confirm you are running either the FB-F-300-JL or FB-S-300-JL. This kit has no function on any other bumper.
