Warn 10-S vs. Warn Zeon

[GraniteRubiGA]

Can someone please help me understand the price difference/value to go to the Zeon?? I have searched over and over and read all I could find. I’m not finding it.

10-S is synthetic cable vs steel I believe.

Not a ton of difference between the 10S and 10 other than winch line, but there is between the Zeon and VR line.

Thank you for the link. This is exactly what I’m looking for!

The Zeon has a wireless remote and allows for two auxiliary lights to be controlled also by the remote with simple wiring hook-up. No other winch has this. Great if you don't have the auxiliary switches built into the Jeep.

I believe it is only the Zeon Platinum that has a wireless remote.

You are correct. I apologize.

Short answer: VRseries Chinese import. Zeon series made in America.
There are other design differences as well.
VR is the entry level winch.

Thank you!

No problem. I just left from looking at both of them side by side. Although they are both relatively hidden in the factory steel bumper, the fit and finish, higher quality line, lower amp draw, and better cooling swayed me to the Zeon

So you have the Zeon in a factory Rubicon Steel bumper? How was the install? Which plate should I use? Thank you again for all the input.

Actually I’m having it done. Just ordered everything today. I went with the warn plate. Yes it’s factory steel Rubicon bumper.

Did you get it from Northridge? They have the best prices I’ve found.

My Jeep guys told me that smitty has a problem with the plugs breaking. Hopefully they have fixed it.
