Zeon 8, 10, and 12 (excluding multi-mount versions) are the same size however the 12-S has an 80' rope vs the 10-S and 8-S 100'.

I used to buy Warn's, my last Warn being a 9500TI. The past two I had failed and with Warn wanting you to ship them to them for warranty - at your expense, I switched. The winch I have on my JK is a smittybilt and was a third of the price of my last Warn (at least). It has always worked for me and I know if it does fail, all I have to do is take it to 4Wheel Parts and they'll replace it.

There are no mounting points.. I guess you have to spend over $300 Just for a mounting plate.. not what I would have thought about a Rubi steel bumper..

I have had several winches over my life time. I started with the Warn's,steel cable. Then when all the market got swamped with all the affordable winches(Cheaper) that looked like they were made from the same plant all with a different MFG sticker. That is when I gave me current winch a chance. I Paid $400 bucks shipped from RC . I have had that same winch for over 7 years. During my search I found Just about all the winches are made to the same mounting dimensions from what I have seen. When I got my Rough Country 9500, Synthetic- line winch with wire less remote, I was nervous, But since then, I have not looked back. Trust me when I say its been used and abused. Sure I have add a few issues as has my Sons. However, RC had stood by there product and made it rite.
#1, I will never use a steel cable again. Synthetic is King for me. It takes out the safety issues. No stored energy released like a lightning bolt when steel cable breaks taking a bee line to lop off someones limbs like it has been know to do. Also, Synthetic line is way lighter, thus so much easier to work with when your walking down a steep hill or thru a deep mud pit to go hook up. I just spool out a hand full, lock the spool and walk down to what ever I am winching out and hook up. Another Bonus comes with the wireless remote. You can control the winch now at point of use . you can see first hand what your working with. i.e how much your load is moving and what may be obstructing your pull. Its overall just a better safer way to winch verse the view you get behind you windshield from the driver seat. If needed, I would just ask someone to hop in my Jeep., Apply the break and maybe give a little throttle to bump up the RPM's /charging system. There are so many winch choices out today. again. Most are built to the same mounting dimensions to be universal when it comes to mounting in different winch bumpers. . Just do your self a favor and get synthetic line first if you can.. especially if you are new to winching and or wheeling. Then I say get the wireless remote is the Bee's Knee's. That little devil is worth its weight in gold to me.

There's another thread that says this... Something isn't right as the "Rubicon Winch" that Mopar sells is a Zeon. I don't know what the true answer is on this...waiting and hoping as I've got a Zeon waiting to be installed.
