    Hi all, I have the 'AEV Premium Front Bumper - Tubeless' that came standard on the 2016 Backcountry. It has space to tuck a winch down inside of it, with removal of the which-delete panel on the top of the bumper. I have seen some people fit the full winch in behind the bumper with a move of...

    There's a front bumper and I'm trying to figure out the model so that I can buy a winch plate. The jeep is a 2014 JK Wrangler. Any assistance is appreciated.

    Hi, I am installing my winch and remote mounting the solenoid under the hood. I have searched and found various answers on what gauge wire people end up using but I do not understand how that is okay when looking at wire ampacity charts. Some background... my badlands zxr12000 comes with 2 AWG...

    I’m choosing a winch for my newly built LJ (which still has the factory bumper), and I’ve seen a few people slag off the newer Warn VR EVO and Zeon winches in favor of the M8000. I understand the M8000 has a long record. But is there another reason (other than price) to avoid the newer models...

    I thought I posted this already maybe not. What’s up everyone. I’m new to the winch game. I’d love to pull the trigger on one but I am on a budget. Currently I can get a warn 8 or badlands apex 12k lined up at really great price points brand new. .. My question is which one shall I get ...

    Hi all, I'm not sure if this is a dumb question, but I am new to off-roading and Jeeps. I purchased a 2022 JLUR with the XR package and am looking to upgrade the factory front bumper. I came across the Stryker bumper and loved the look of it. I do not want to install a winch, however, since...

    Hello all, New to the forum and to owning a 2001 Wrangler TJ Sport. I have a Quadratec Q9500i Winch and the Quadratec Solenoid Module for Intergrated Q Series Winches was removed and placed under the hood for weather proofing by the previous owner. Very smart but the only problem is they...

    So I got a bunch of stuff to post, I will get to those eventually. My Long Range Recon build has seen a lot of improvements and still has parts laying around everywhere waiting for install 🤪 Recently bought a Apex Badlands 12000 lb from Harbor Freight. Been doing a lot of research, and between...

    Howdy y'all, Warn is top & can cost 5X what a HF version costs. I am not advocating for either - What do you have and why? Is anyone running a Superwinch? They are made in San Dimas CA, right down the street from me. If so what model & any pros/ cons? Thank you...

    I’m new to this forum and new to modifying my 2009 Jeep Wrangler Sahara JKU which was purchased with modifications already. It has a Warn rope winch on the stinger front bumper which doesn’t allow me enough space to slide on the new front grille plate I bought for it. I was looking for advice on...

    I had a shop pop this bumper into place while they were doing some other work. Eveyrthing is good, and it's solid and strong. This weekend I was installing my winch, and noticed that these two bolt holes are empty. The bumper actually goes underneath this support. It seems like there shoudl...

    Hey guys and gals New to the forum and love it. 1st time Jeep owner. I will be taking my hardtop on and off frequently and I wanted to post some pics of what I threw together for about as cheap as I could and have a power hoist for other newbies to get ideas. I bought a t-bar with hooks off FB...

    I'm new here, but looking for winch info for my 2006 Wrangler Sport TJ. I found this: Seems like as of October 2020, the winch has a recall: https://www.consumeraffairs.com/recalls/quadratec-recalls-q-performance-stealth-series-winches-100620.html

    I'm getting ready to install my winch - new bumper is on, winch has arrived, but I need to relcoate teh vacuum pump. There's various mounting brackets to mount it under the hood, driver side, just behind the wiper reservoir. My problem is I've already mounted my DC relay panel there: Any...

    I recently bought a 2005 Wrangler SE that’s trail rated. It has 35k miles and I feel like it was such a steal for not being stock. I’m not too familiar with modifications but it is lifted for sure. I’m looking to learn new things and already have ideas for what my Wild Thing can be and do. Being...
  16. Safety and Recovery
    Got it installed on my 2019 JL and when I go to use the control it just clicks. I read it could be a loose wire but I can’t seem to get it to work no matter work. HELP!

    Hey everyone. I have my Smittybilt stubby on Ghost, and using a discount code, picked up one of the Harborfreight Badlands 9000lb winches. My question before I get the jeep into the garage and get the tools out (I don't hasve a heated garage, I need to go offsite), will I need a winch plate...

    Six weeks ago I ordered a Quadratec Stealth 10,000 lb winch with rope. It was listed at $600; an excellent value for a submersible winch with wireless remote. It was back ordered until Dec. 1st. I didn’t mind waiting 6 weeks. Separately, I ordered a Mopar steel bumper, and at Quadratec’s...
