Reviews for AEV 10305060AB Front Bumper Winch Mount for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK with AEV Bumper

Supposed to work with the bumper and the Warn Zeon 10S

Convenience

Used with Warn Zeon 10. Winch barely touches grill, but touches none the less. Tight fit but fits if you are wondering what winch to go with.

This winch plate has very good fitment and function. Works very well with a Smittybilt X2O 10k# winch.
What is lacking are (1) notes that you will also need the fairlead adapter (purchase separately) if you currently have an AEV bumper that was installed from the factory (note: my Jeep is not a CoD edition, so I would not have known to order the other option for CoD owners). And (2) the installation instructions are horrible.

With that said, if you know what you’re doing and take your time with the install, this product works very well.

Good product overall an is needed if you have a JK with an AEV bumper. The bad is the instructions are very poorly written and confusing. If you have no mechanical abilities it would be extremely difficult to install.

I purchased this plate to go with a a quadratec winch. I have an AEV bumper from the factory so I thought I needed this plate. This installation is not for the faint of heart. You can expect to make mistakes during the installation because the instructions are weak. The hardware didn't work for my bumper I had to get different hardware. The cutting of the vacuum device bracket takes a grinder and a it's tough. The instructions just say, cut this off... LOL, really? The washers aren't the right sizes and there aren't enough lock nuts. Along with the winch this installation, because of trial and error, took me 10 hours. My recommendation is to pay someone to do this.
