Which winch for JL Wrangler

[DanW]

Does it fit in the factory JL steel bumpers easily?

According to JCR, whose winch plate kit I have, yes. I'll confirm that once I get it installed.

I put in a Warn Zeon 10-S Platinum with JCR winch plate

Is that the Mopar winch guard?

Yes.

I have no skills and have done two now. Now that there is no cutting brackets like on the 10A/X/Hard Rock, it is such an easy job. To pull the cables up to the battery I used a coat hangar, hooked up the two terminal cables and pulled them up through. Only special tool is a Torque wrench.

Great suggestion on the coat hangers! I am awaiting my JLUR and was wondering how to accomplish bringing the wires up to the battery. Thanks for your post.

For the Mopar (Warn) winch designed for the Rubicon anyone know the difference between these model numbers for the winch: P5160095AB and P5160095AC. I see the AC version is the latest but know what the difference is.

JCR's winch plate page has a list of winches compatible with the steel bumper.

Has anyone done a comparison of mounting plates? Curious if all are the same as far as metal gauge goes

I called th eguys form JCR to ask abouthe super winch 10 k bummer it doesn't fit but these guys are great. They looked fo an answer and called me back within 5 minute. Excellent customer service.

what are the dimensions of the location that the winch will fit . or in other words what is the largest winch that will fit the steel bumper in terms of measurements. The super winch 10K esp is 23.7 x 7.5 The warn Zeon 10s is 24.25 x 7.15. Will the super winch fit? Is there a height measurement also that is a controlling factor?

Rec'd my Smittybuilt X20 10k winch today. For those of you concerned about weight, without the cable it weighs 47 lbs. The synthetic cable can't weigh more that a couple lbs. The assembly instructions are pretty much worthless. I found a couple videos on youtube to see how other people handled the assembly. The worst part is attaching the control box to the winch. It will try your patience. My Barricade HD bumper will be here Thursday. Then the fun begins taking off the stock bumper.

Is anyone, for any reason, connecting theirs to the Aux switches to control power from the interior? If so, why, or why not?

It took a little english to line the driver side bolt holes up, but overall, it wasn't a super hard job. The Smittybilt XRC9500 fit with room to spare, though. It only weighs 46lbs, with the rope, which is why I went with it. It was the lightest winch I could find in its pull class.
