Hey folks, here is some info if your planing on installing this winch on your JL
It was a little more work than I was expecting.
I have the first Maximus winch mounting bracket.
https://maximus-3.com
The winch is a warn-zeon-platinum-10-s-recovery-10000lb winch with-spydura synthetic rope.
Mopar winch guard.
The winch is a little too wide and I had to cut/grind part of the frame mounting points on each side where the bumper mounts.
The driver side top nut for the front bumper will not go back on due to the winch being so wide and I’ll have to replace it with a different type of nut. Hope this works.
Due to how wide this winch is I had to mount it in the second set of holes a little back and really close to the front grill. There will be no way to remove the from grill without removing the winch.
A weld in the driver side frame is preventing the winch mounting plate from mounting flush and I had to enlarge one of the mounting holes to get the bolt through.
It took me around three hours to finish.
