Has anyone installed a winch yet. If so, would you be willing to share some pictures. The expected ship date for my Rubicon is 4/26 and I plan to install a winch as the first accessory.
Thanks,

I installed a Warn VR Evo 10s winch on a Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper no problems. You connect the winch to the standard 12v battery in the engine bay just like you would previous versions of Jeep. I did have to go to the hardware store to buy some serrated flanged nuts for the battery terminal studs because apparently no versions of the 2.0 liter engine (including the 4xe come with them)Could you show the connection at the battery?
Thanks
I just looked at that yesterday… I’m like, they couldn’t put nuts on the studs??? Jeez. Also, those are ground points next to the battery correct?

I installed a Warn 12S with an Artec mount, on the steel bumper. All was very easy except for reinstalling the bumper. The inside nuts were very difficult to tighten, as referenced in youtube videos. With the right tools I think it would have been easier, but it was a tight space. Also put a winch lock (anti-theft) nut on.Has anyone installed a winch yet.

You may want to run the wires to a relay and use the AUX to switch the relay. Probably at a minimum would want to put a fuse inline.I just love the comments on the Internet. Yes, you can install a winch on a 4xe. Here’s mine On the factory steel bumper. Wires run straight to the battery View attachment 2299
