Check that you have all of the parts shown before starting.
Check that you have all of the hardware shown before starting (hardware pack 046-0253).
Jeep JK Hard Rock / 10A winch mount. Tools: 3/16 allen wrench and T50 torx bit. Hardware: ten 3/8-16 x 1 hex caps, ten 3/8 flat washers, ten 3/8-16 x 1 button heads, six 3/8-16 flange nuts and the vacuum relocation bracket. Trial install before painting, and keep paint away from threads.
Remove the cover plate and unplug the fog lights. Then remove the lower skid plate.
With the skid plate off, remove the front bumper from the frame rails by unbolting the 4 bolts on each side.
Remove the plastic cover panel on top of the frame. You can drill through the plastic screws if they spin in place.
If you are using a larger winch, such as a Warn Zeon series, notch the front of the frame rail. The cut needs to be 1 inch wide, out to the end of the frame rail.
Remove the vacuum pump with a 10 mm wrench and rotate the pump 90 degrees counter clockwise.
Orient the new bracket as shown and remove the front pump ear. You will sandwich the bracket between the rear bolt hole (or stud) on the factory mount and one of the pump ears. Loosely install the provided bolt in the factory bracket.
Install the provided hardware through the outside ear of the pump and the bracket, loosely. Then install hardware through the frame (some 2015 JKs may need a hole drilled on the outside of the frame). Tighten everything.
Drop a flag tab into each pocket on the inside of the frame. Position the winch plate so the front mounting points sit behind the frame rail.
Raise the winch plate into place so the side mounting points line up with the flag tabs and the front lines up with the frame rail opening. Tighten the side bolts, then install the winch on the tray and run the wiring into the engine bay.
Cut the rubber stops on the back of the fairlead cover plate with snips and discard the plate. Most winches use the centered fairlead plate, and offset ones like the Warn 9.5 CTI use the offset plate. Bolt it to the bumper now, and add your JCR fairlead.
Reinstall the front bumper with the factory hardware, then the lower skid and fog lights. Done! Time to enjoy your new winch on the trail.
Confirm all hardware is tightened. Congrats! Your installation of the Jeep JK Winch Mount is now complete. Enjoy!
