Mopar Winch etc

[bailer]

I sourced my Zeon 8S winch, mount and accessories from my dealer.

The Mopar winch plate seems fairly good. I was able to get the inner bumper bolts tightened up from the top and bottom without a flex socket.

The winch itself had the perfect length of cables for my chosen routing, as shown below.

I did add the Maximus 3 filler plates and hook anchor. I think I will go to a sleeved loop and eliminate the Warn thimble and hook. I will just carry soft shackles is my thought.

I’m quite happy with the clean and simple look of it all. The Mopar grill protector bar is low enough it doesn’t impair the camera.

Is there any difference between the Mopar Warn winch and a standard Warn Zeon 8S?

I don’t think so…. some rubicon stickers, the power cable has conduit, and is perhaps a different length. They also include ppf and felt to protect the grill.

Cool, thanks. An 8k winch seems a little low for a Gladiator though.

Yeah I see most are going bigger…. I guess it is still at 1.5X. I talked to to a couple people before deciding, but ultimately just went with what I could get through the dealer.

I'm sure you'll be fine with it. Can always use a snatch block too.
