2023 Rubicon 392. what mounting do need to set this winch up to factory bumper
To install a Warn VR EVO Series Winch onto the factory steel bumper of your 2023 Rubicon 392, you will need a specific winch mounting plate.
While the Rubicon 392's steel bumper is "winch-ready," it does not come with the internal structure required to bolt a winch down. You must add a mounting plate that bridges the gap between the bumper and the vehicle's frame.
Required Mounting Options
There are two primary ways to set this up, depending on your preference for factory-spec parts versus aftermarket heavy-duty options:
Warn 101255 Winch Mount Plate: This is the most common choice for your specific setup. It is engineered to handle up to 12,000 lbs of pull, exceeding the 10,000 lb rating of a typical VR EVO 10-S. It positions the winch low to ensure airflow to the radiator is not blocked—a critical factor for the high-performance 392 engine.
Mopar Winch Mounting Kit (82215182AD): This is the official "Jeep Performance Parts" option. While it provides a factory fit and finish, it is often more expensive than the Warn alternative and provides similar functionality.

i have a RockHard bumper (full width) made for an ABOVE bumper winch mount. There are 4 holes drilled... will the mount match those holes?
The VR EVO series uses the standard industrial mounting bolt pattern of 10" x 4.5" (254mm x 114.3mm). Since RockHard 4x4 bumpers are designed to be compatible with all major winch brands, they are pre-drilled specifically for this 10" x 4.5" pattern.

What is the duty cycle of the VR EVO 10 ?
Will it fit the stock 2024 Rubicon JT front bumper?
WARN has no set duty cycle as it will depend on the application. They are considered a "standard duty cycle" - A "standard" duty cycle for a winch typically falls within the range of 20-50%, meaning the winch can operate at full power for 20-50% of the time before needing a cool-down period, depending on the specific winch model and intended use; heavier duty winches may have a lower duty cycle percentage due to increased strain on the motor and components. WARN states, "If it's too hot to touch, it's too hot to use." -- To install the winch on an OEM JT bumper, the bracket you need will depend on the bumper you have - plastic or steel.

I have a Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper, will I need a winch plate for installation?
The Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper came with a winch plate, so nothing additional should need to be purchased for mounting.

Will the VR EVO 8 require a winch plate to mount to my Rampage Rock Rage steel bumper on my 2014 Rubicon?
Yes, it will.

will this winch (w/ synthetic rope) mount directly onto a rampage rock rage front bumper? Is everything included or do i need to buy a mounting plate?
The Rampage Rock Rage bumper is a winch-ready bumper, when you order your winch you'll have everything you need to install.
