New Warn Zeon winch

[Gbradley25]

Has anyone installed a Warn Zeon winch yet? I have a 09 unlimited and I'm having major issues with the fit (even with a revised warn bumper). Installer said it will be ready to go tomorrow. Is anyone else having success/ issues? I'll post pictures when I get it tomorrow evening.

What seems to be the problem? Are you trying to fit it on a winch plate that is recessed in the bumper?

Well... It is an elite series bumper from Warn. They had to make revisions to the bumper so the Zeon winch would fit properly. The claimed they sent me a revised bumper and I'm not totally sure they did. The bolts right by the mounting area are interfering with the holes where you mount the winch. (FYI.. YOU HAVE TO SHAVE DOWN THE BRACKETS 1/4".. Just like they tell you to do with power plant winch. They forgot to put it in the new instructions) The mounting plate is part of the bumper so you can't move it. In the end my installer and I had to drill a couple new holes to put into the new winch. I'm kinda new to the whole mod scene so I'm having a hard time explaining it. We did get it in and it cost me Waaaaay more than expected (probably the name of the game), but it looks really good! I'll post some pics soon!

Not great pics but, the process has started. New light bar, tires and BDS lift next!

It's snug but, it does look like it belongs there - really nice actually :thumb:

I think it looks really good! It fills in the bumper really nice. :rock:

I have always liked the look of the warn bumpers. Would this be a good winch for someone who isn't going to be using it more than once a year?
