As always, Great video!
 
Great video, very comprehensive installation instructions along with the tools needed list makes this an installation that anyone can do.

Although Ripley thinks your time would be much better spent playing Frisbee with her! 😂

LOL - and Ripley would be right 😁
 
I broke the wire when I was trying to get the winch line feed thru when I was installing mine. I never could get the puck flush in the drum. I'll pull the line back out when ever I get back home and try to get it flush. I'm going to pull the grill off so I can run the cables to the battery different then the way I've got it now.

Thanks for yet another amazing video! Nice that you did not have to trim the inner top frame horns to fit the new Zeon XD, I had to trim them both on my '20 JLR to fit the Zeon 10-S to my Warn bumper and also just a couple months ago with the Zeon 10-S when mounting to the OEM steel bumper. It was a PITA to install but the end result is a perfect but very tight fit...
While I am happy with the original Zeon 10-S on my JLR-X, I wish the local shop that I ordered it from had told me a new model was coming out, by the time I learned about it the new original Zeon 10-S was halfway installed...
 
Nice one guys, looks great! I love the look of that bumper with a Warn tucked neatly inside.

Still not sold on F55 hook. What are the benefits over the Warn hook? One I saw was you don’t need a shackle on the bumper to connect it to.
 
Great video! Laughed my ass off because of the disclaimer. I still bet it won’t take long for someone to make a comment about your winch choice.

It's really not necessary to get the puck to sit totally flush.

Great video as always. Really like the design warn used to incorporate the stock bumper

I do too and unlike other aftermarket winch plates that do the same, I like how the WARN has added support that ties into the frame horns below for added strength.

The new XD being slightly smaller really does help a lot.

Honestly, the basic hook that WARN provides with the winch is all you really need. In fact, it's what I prefer to use on all my other Jeeps or something like it. I always find it to be the fastest and easiest to use and it works with everything. My reason for trying the F55 is because I personally have never used one before on one of my Jeeps and so I'm just testing it out for experience sake. I still hate the thimbles - they are the worst.
