    I installed this kit to his morning for a Warn 10-S EVO on a 2017 Hilux. It took me 45 minutes and it was super easy. Highly recommended and well worth the dollars.

    Will likely be buying this to use on my EVO 10S when I mount it to the new Bronco. Hoping that will allow me to keep the front camera working when I switch bumpers. With the camera/bumper placement dynamics, there will probably be a lot of demand for this on them.

      Congrats on the new bronco! Yeah itll be nice to get that out of the way of the camera. We've got about 4 miles of wire in stock so lead times are short on this product 🤘🏼

    I will be buying this from you guys soon- what a 'no headache' kit! Question: for the universal kit, I noticed online you mentioned mounting the control box within 1.5 feet of the battery. Will a longer distance create less winching ability/power?

      @@vicedesigninc Thanks for the info! If I have to mount it further away from the battery, will that create a (theoretical) power drop?

    • @vicedesigninc
      @vicedesigninc  4 года назад +1

      Its about total path length. (+ Length of battery to control box ) plus (+ Length control box to winch) plus ( - length of ground wire to battery). Ultimately you want to keep the positive cables under 10' (for the size of wire we supply). IE a 3' power cable + plus 5' control box kit would be fine.

    • @vicedesigninc
      @vicedesigninc  2 года назад +1

      Yup thats how the winch sits in this particular application. Most of the time the terminals on the winch will face the backside of the vehicle when the feet of the winch are facing down. That orientation doesnt matter though- what matters are that you attach each wire to the correct color.

    Just ordered and Evil to replace my Ramsey Pro Plus that is 22 years old but still working fine with conventional solenoids. Looks like I'll be tearing into the control box on the new one in Spring all the terminals what the electrical anti-corrosion seal and lubing up the quick connect for the fairlead pendant. Lots of salt up here in the Northeast. Have you taken a new Evo apart cuz they're adequate grease in the planet Aries and on the clutch handle or should I do some preventive maintenance. Thanks

    Hi, Can you confirm the universal Warn VR EVO control box relocation kit will work with the 10s version of the Warn vr evo winch? Also, would this universal kit work with my 2020 4Runner TRD Pro? If so, can you please post an installation video?

    • @vicedesigninc

      Yup it will work with the 8000, 10000 or 12000 pound EVO winches in either steel or synthetic rope versions. It should also be compatible with the older generation VR winches. If you have an older one just check what style of ground connector they use - it should be a small ring terminal such as in this video

    Hey mate, considering doing this with my warn vr evo 10, does it compromise the waterproof of the box or void the warranty at all?

    • @vicedesigninc
      @vicedesigninc  4 года назад +3

      The only part of the winch that's waterproof is the physical winching body itself - the control box isnt at all. Dust-resistant at best. Thats why we came out with this kit because they fill up with dirt and its the most likely reason your winch wont work when you go to use it! As for warranty they'd have to prove the modifications caused something to fail. We've had zero reported cases of this.

      Hey Steve - Good question. The winch orientation is different depending on what hidden winch kit you have. The 2013-2018 Ram 1500 kit shown in this video the connectors face the ground. Out 2019+ RAM 1500/Rebel kits, 2010-2018 Ram 2500/3500 Kits, and 15-18 RAM Rebel kits - the connectors face upwards. Hope that helps

Instead of a 6 foot power cable, and a 1 foot jumper from the control box to the winch, its a 1.5' power cable to the control box, and a 4-6 foot cable to the winch. The ground cable remains the same in both cases.
