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.

Iā€™m quite happy with the clean and simple look of it all. The Mopar grill protector bar is low enough it doesnā€™t impair the camera.

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

I donā€™t think soā€¦. 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 biggerā€¦. 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.
