@@TheBeardedJeeper To be clear that wasn't a jab at you but at other channels. I usually don't mind install videos but I found it surprising how few real world test videos their are of the Warn winch line up.
Triot i didn’t think it was aimed at me. I get it that’s why I tried to make the video better to help people make an informed decision. I try to do that with all my videos
I really like the controller plug. Had to replace my Smittybilt controllet socket after just two years because water got into the connector and corroded the connwctor since it is right on top. You are right about the shape of the connector and how important it is. My smittybilt has a round connector and when covered in mud, is hard to tell the correct orientation. I installed an in cab switch which solves some of my problems but my next winch will be a Warn, thanks for the video
Major Weakness yeah my Quadratec winch has the same plug issue. I also have the warn wireless remote so that helps too. But their platinum winch is completely wireless. It is really worth it to get a warn. Thanks for watching
@@TheBeardedJeeper literally the same as yours for line speed. The 12s have slower line speed and shorter winch lines, but can obviously pull more weight.
Question about the bumper, I have a top mounted wench and my temps on the interstate going up hills I can get into the 230s, have you noticed a difference in the engine temp on the inset vs on top bumper?
@@TheBeardedJeeper no running 4.88s but did it when it was 3.21. Clean radiator, never stays that high as soon as I get to the top it stops. Fan works nee thermostat cant figure it out thought maybe winch. Need to take it off and test it
Why did you did you switch from evo to zeon? Looking to buy a warn and was wondering why the big price difference evo and zeon. Does the zeon out perform evo that much... almost double the price. Thanks for the video!
I've had no problems with my 10-S. I added the wireless remote so I could sit inside and steer or stand clear outside. I did add a Factor 55 Ultrahook. Nice video 🏆 PS...when did you go from a VR to this winch?
Yeah I really love this winch. I switched from the VR when I broke the VR in the fiasco that was snapping my front axle. Still have the other one and it can be fixed just need the parts.
Web Dev no the winch didn’t cause it. It was the perfect storm my rig was wedged between ice and a really pointy sharp rock and it just bashed it enough to snap it. I have a video showing the carnage
Web Dev thank you for subscribing I really appreciate it. I usually try to reply as soon as I can and I reply to every comment. Thanks again for your support!
Hey man, your gonna destroy your synthetic cable. Your putting gouges in your fairlead when you spool your hook into your fairlead. Those gouges will start cutting your rope. Buy a new rope and fairlead and next time hook onto your bumper before your hook destroys your fairlead again.
I ordered Warn bumper and Zeon 10-S winch this morning. Both USA made. More money than I wanted to spend but it’s for my wife’s Gladiator Rubicon Ecodiesel. Nice vehicle, nice bumper, awesome winch! @muddyruttzz
Thanks for making this video that wasn't just another unboxing and install. I think you're the few people that's made a review after actual use.
Triot you bet. I messed up on my other winch review not showing that so I made sure to with this one. Thanks for watching

WARN ZEON-10S win!!! COOL!
Hell yeah brother... Id love to give this a try on Beach Jeep. I'm gonna need something if we get stuck in the wet sand!
it is well worth it and it holds up really well. thanks for watching
I have definitely put my Warn to the test many times. I got the Platinum so I can sit in my rig drinking coffee yanking Jeeps out. 😁
I would love to see how different the platinum is. This one definitely yanks anything out fast. Thanks for watching

Casey 250 isn’t the platinum completely wireless too?
I took your advice and bought one for my 2019 toyota lc 200 series 4.5 V8 TD With summit ARB bumper.Thank you
JEDDAH F W D جدة للدفع الرباعي you are welcome. Hope it works out well for you. If I can do anything else to help out pls let me know
Nice - I went with the Warn Zeon 10s for my Gladiator
JTR Spartacus solid choice for sure. It really works well and winches in fast
@@TheBeardedJeeper awesome! can't wait until my Ace JT Expedition bumper comes so I can mount it up and try it out.
JTR Spartacus that is gonna look awesome. You should send me some pics when you get it all installed
Thanks!
Wow thanks Ken I really appreciate that! Thank you for watching the video
OH, Winch.. I thought you said wench... It's all making sense now.....I'd be interested in your thoughts on synthetic line vs Steel cable?
Nick G haha no wenches here. I should probably make a video on steel vs synthetic
That’s a badass winch man!
American Jeeper indeed it is. I love my warn winch!
Looked at this winch but went with 9.5 xp-s for no particular reason
Bill Harvey this is definitely a great winch. If yours ever fails you I would suggest this one. Thanks for watching
I run one of these in my ARB summit on my Ford Everest, one of the better winches on the market here in o,z

Great review!
thank you I appreciate it!
Question about the bumper, I have a top mounted wench and my temps on the interstate going up hills I can get into the 230s, have you noticed a difference in the engine temp on the inset vs on top bumper?
another JKowner I really haven’t noticed much of a difference. Are you on stock gears? Is your radiator clean?

another JKowner yeah worth a shot to check it out but I don’t think that would be your problem. Let me know what you find out

Brant Sherrell I didn’t have the evo. I had the warn VR and only reason I switched is because my VR broke and the parts were on back order to fix it.
Thank you!
Brant Sherrell no problem if you have any questions on either just let me know. Thanks again for watching

This was just for the video. I normally hook it to my d-ring on the front bumper until I can get a flatlink or something
Can that winch be clocked?
I think you where going for "its shaped like a D not just a circle" 😂
Shapes are hard lol
@@TheBeardedJeeper lmao tru dat!
@@bitrage. either way thanks for watching
Thank you
Thank you for watching
1:58. Snap is not cable.. it's some monkey crap...
just 1 life it was pretty scary for sure when that thing snapped
Get that water out of your foglight
I have to take the whole bumper off to remove them
