This kit relocates your Warn VR EVO Winch Control Box to the engine bay of your truck.
Why do I need this?
This upgrade has multiple advantages.
Firstly - this makes plugging in your winch controller very easy and safe. Simply pop your hood and plug it in. This is also makes charging your wireless remote a breeze.
Secondly - the control box is the least waterproof and most likely part to cause your winch to fail. Moving it to the top of the engine bay keeps the contactors and electrical connections away from submersion in water, mud and road grime.
Thirdly - Not all winches can fit behind a bumper because the control box interferes. This kit solves that problem and adds function at the same time.
What length do I need?
Most applications require 6 feet or less. The winch comes with the ground cable 6' long which is almost always long enough.
Using a piece of rope, route where you want to mount your control box in your engine bay within 1.5 feet of your battery (+) and down to the electrical terminals on your WARN VR Evo Winch. Measure the length of this rope to determine what length you require for your kit. Make sure you give yourself enough slack, its better to be a bit too long than too short.
Includes:
- Control Box Mounting Bracket (Powder Coated Black)
- Self Threading Mounting Hardware
- New 18" Power Cable
- Winch Wiring Harness Extension pre-made to length specified with colour coded ends and packaged neatly in Automotive loom

VICE Quality
All kits are hand cut and crimped to order with North American Sourced Cables and Connectors. All materials and components in this kit were chosen because they were higher quality than what comes with your winch; That way its up to the task when you need it!
Check out the video below to see how straight forward the installation is.
Please see the installation video below for directions. Note: this video was performed for the 13-18 RAM 1500 Kit and will vary for different models. However, different models will follow the same procedure.
Used this kit to relocate winch control box, works great, wires are well bundled and plenty long to mount box in engine bay, I mounted near air cleaner. Vice kit includes powder coated L bracket.
Re: comeup winch- grounding wire can be removed from the Vice bundle since the control box includes ground. Also - need to order thermal control wire extension directly from comeup.

Excellent product.
Product was more then expected, form fit and function where perfect. Highly recommend this product.
Great design. Easier for some than myself to install.
I am not a very good wrench but all went well.
2 little things to whine about. 1. Stock valance braces don’t work with this system. Maybe because mine is an RMT edition. The video of the guys doing this install have the vice skid plate and not the stock valance. 2. The fair lead bolt that holds the hook catch is too short. I had plenty of bolts laying around in the garage so no problem.
Looks awesome! Haven’t pulled myself or anyone out of the ditch yet but I’m sure this will do the job.
Installed the reverse light kit with connection to my Vice mount Aux fuse box. it works great. I feel like the lights are a little too focused. would love a little more diffuse but great product
