Wrangler base plate
Well after 15 years of pulling around my 01 Wrangler I'm looking for a newer one. Have my eye on a 2015 4door Sahara. For a little more $ I can change out stock number and use the d hook spot for tab...

If Rugged Ridge thinks the recovery tabs on their Wrangler bumper are not strong enough to pull a Wrangler then what in the world are they good for and why did they even bother putting them on? Does Rugged Ridge just put the recovery tabs on for looks? Do they think we all use our Wranglers (and bumpers) just as mall crawlers?
That's pretty odd for sure. You'd think that if a company goes through the trouble of engineering, design, fabrication and application, that the recovery tabs WOULD be good for towing because, they're supposed to be used to RECOVER a stuck JEEP. And that sometimes, involves quite a bit of pull on them to get the stuck Jeep out of its predicament. So, maybe I guess they're saying the tabs are for "Part time" use, not full time use as in towing.
