Is anyone running the Apex Design Power Steering Fluid Cooler with a recessed winch on a Rubicon with the Sway Bar disconnect? If so, what bumper, winch plate and winch are you using?

TIA

I have it with a factory steel bumper,warn winch plate, and a warn vr10 winch. It fits, but it’s 5lbs of crap in a 1lb bag. If it was sold as a universal fit cooler I would not have any issues having to modify things to make it fit. When it is sold as a bolt on cooler I personally feel there is some improvements needed in the design.

Thank you. This is kind of what I expected A) Not many folks running this combo - so far only you and B) "I was able to make if fit by reworking everything."

I am running it as well... Rubicon steel bumper and Warn winch with Warn winch plate. I had to make modifications as well. There is a thread on here with some guy promoting his work giving it a great review. It isn't bad it does help (very minor) I could have gotten a better cooler and just went with their modification valve. Anyway I did look my Jeep over very well prior to removing anything. Start to finish it actually only took me about 1.5 to 2 hours. Which wasn't bad as far as install. I didn't cut the bracket, i didn't remove the pump, I took the line out in one piece. Just wasn't that bad of an install, definitely not a direct bolt on, and they explain that in the thread on here(which is after the fact to me) they say , "you should have just called us" LoL,

I suppose another option would be to run their pump valve mod without the additional cooler.
