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.
Bought this to install my Auxbeam 6-gang switch panel, and couldn’t be happier with it. Both the under-hood and the in-cab mounts are very well designed, and are made very well. The design made the install a breeze, and the whole setup almost looks factory as a result.
These are awesome tow hook mounts, the design is perfect and the fit and finish is better than factory. Super easy install and the are perfect for pulling stuck vehicles from the back.
The item fit perfect. Exactly as described. The video on the product page made the install and setup so much easier. I’m considering putting one into my other vehicle now as well. Love this.
First and foremost, I am very happy with the kit. My only gripe is I still have the stock air dam with stock air dam mounts which the new bumper brackets interfere with. Second is the tow hooks. The new bumper brackets do not take into consideration the nut postioners, also the video does not address the reinstall of the tow hooks. Minor issues I was able to solve and again overall very happy with the kit.
