Warn Zeon 12 Winch

[NorCal69]

I have been looking for a winch to install between the framerails and behind the stock front bumper of my 1st gen for some time. I came across this little jem and it looks like it may work out very nice. With the removable control box, this comes in at just under 8".

Just seeing if anyone has heard anything about them before I bite the bullet.

I've only found one thread on Pirate and nothing much more out there on the new model. Looks like they just came out at this last SEMA show.

Any info on a yay or nay, would be cool.

Thanks

The cool factor is there... That's for sure.

I actually saw it work at SEMA. They had a Jeep in their booth with one mounted to it. Plain and simple the darn things are NICE!

They did just come out at SEMA so no personal experience with them other than that.

They are pretty quiet too for what its worth.

Thanks Phil,

I didn't think that I'd get a lot out of this, being that it's so new. You never know though.

Think that I'm going order one tomorrow.

I'll play guinea pig for the brotherhood....

I will be watching this thread, that is perfect for my rig, either mounted on top of the front bumper or behind between the frame rails!!

Because you never know when you might be out wheeling with the girls and lose a hub or rear driveline!!
