Reviews for WARN VR EVO Series Winch

Beastly!!! Love the look and the trail/camp assurance I have now if I’m out alone! Pretty straight forward install, takes maybe an hour once you have everything out of the box and laid out on the ground.

This thing is perfect for what I need! Weekend Warrior rock climbing and Exploring! I have used it once’s i far and it was flawless! So my confidence is there with this winch sitting on the front of my JL. I also have the WARN winch plate to mount.

Superior quality piece. Still waiting on the bumper but from what I have seen these are great!

I love the winch and have used it several times in the first year that I have owned it. I do however hate the wireless remote. The wireless remote is always dead when I need it and I am forced to use it as a wired remote. Although the installation guide clearly shows a AAA battery under "wireless Function" the battery is NOT a AAA nor is it a standard AA. You must purchase SPECIALTY Non-Rechargeable ER14505 3.6V Lithium Batteries and I recommend that you carry at least one spare.

Typical Warn quality. Well built. Fast line speed and the wireless remote on a winch of this price is worthwhile.

Good winch. The combination wire/wireless controller is helpful. Have not used much but so far great.
Mounted it to the Warn 101255 winch mount plate. The bolts provided are too short by 1/2" to mount hawse head to the Warn plate. Had to purchase some from hardware store.

Product really looks great on my Rubicon. I have not had chance yet to put through some good use. Hope to do so in a month.

The winch is great, but don't be fooled by the specs saying it comes with a wireless remote. Mine came in the same box but with a big sticker on saying that it comes with a wired remote only. Extremely disappointed. 3 stars just because it is a quality winch, but 1 star for the bait and switch.
