That means more flexibility for owners—including those who ordered their Jeep with the factory Mopar Warn® winch and want to keep it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRather than adapting a universal winch plate to the bumper, AEV engineered this mount to attach directly to the vehicle frame rails. The result is a strong, independent structure that carries recovery loads through the chassis while keeping the RX or EX Front Bumper focused on the job it was designed to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRun the Winch You Already Have\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAlready equipped with the OEM Mopar Warn® 8-S winch (PN P5160095AC)?

When using the Mopar Warn® 8-S, the installation is also compatible with either the OEM fairlead or the AEV Universal Fairlead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFor owners starting with a different recovery setup, the mount also supports a broad selection of popular Warn® and ComeUp® winches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCompatible Winches\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe AEV Winch Mount is engineered for use with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top: 0in;\" type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOEM Mopar Warn® 8-S\u003c\/b\u003e — PN P5160095AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarn® Zeon 8 \/ 10 \/ 12\u003c\/b\u003e — synthetic or steel cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWarn® VR EVO 8 \/ 10 \/ 12\u003c\/b\u003e — synthetic or steel cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-list: l1 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eComeUp® SOLO 9.5RS \/ 12.5RS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOther integrated-solenoid winches may also fit when their overall dimensions are equal to or smaller than the validated Warn® and ComeUp® models and they can be installed in the same mounting orientation.
