Most of my recovery gear is in a Rubbermaid-type bin in the bed, but real important stuff like the winch control, strap, tree strap and some soft shackles are under the rear seat. Over the year I've been stuck a few times where I couldn't open the rear gate on vehicles....
As it came with the front correction brackets and the rear track bar relocation bracket, the only thing I added was 1/2 terraflex front spacer (had 1 1/2" spacers in before the lift was installed) and a Clayton front adjustable track bar. Rides great!
As far as the convenience of taking a photo, that is a helluvalot easier than sending the remote back to warn for a replacement that's not even made yet, or removing and returning the entire winch! I sent them a pic of the battery pack showing the cut wires, a copy of the receipt, and for good...
You want the voucher, you take the pics. I didn't see where it said "keep using the remote wirelessly as long as it's still working" anywhere on the VR Evo Remote Info page.
My controller (built May, 2021) was never wet, either, but the battery pack did show early signs of corrosion. What...

Funny, my controller was never out in the wet weather and has only been used to spool/respool the line once and to check the winch functionality once a season, but it's showing a bit of corrosion on the battery pack!
I've seen a few different guesses on the 'net saying what WARN may or may not do and how quick it may or may not be. The info I posted was what I was told by customer service when I called them on Wednesday.
For more details, I suggest you read the second half of page 6 and the first part of...
I think everyone's missing the obvious. The wheels won't fit, as the bolt pattern is 5 x 4 1/2" on YJ, 5 x 5" on JT. Also, keep in mind your new JT's wheels are 17" in diameter, smaller wheels might not clear the brakes and/or suspension.
While the company states it fits, under "FAQ's" I noticed this----
Will I be able to open my cover with the rack installed?
- Folding covers will not be able to open.
- Retractable covers will still function.
- Rollup covers can only roll until the cover hits the back legs of the rack.
18 months, 21000 miles. I'll leave it for now because putting a new windshield in would just be tempting fate!
Funny thing is, the crack changes direction ever so slightly and moves a bit further along every time I run the defroster! I'll probably replace it when it reaches an edge....
Warn advises to remove the battery pack from the winch controller and use it as a wired controller only. There will be info on their website on Friday to sign up for the recall. You will need the serial number of your winch. The plan is they will be sending out new wired remotes and $100 Warn...
Not sure what the Sport has, but I know the skids on my Overland didn't seem to be much more than sheet metal or cover up some of the vulnerable parts. You might want to crawl under there to see just what's there now, paying attention to the oil pan, exhaust crossover pipe, gas tank and...
I used the Hotheads with the sound assassin strips on my '06 LJ, and based on that experience, I ordered them when I ordered my JT. Well made product, great customer service.
