    As the title says, will the new Badlands Apex winch fit in the Warn Slimline bumper?

    Dimension wise the bolt pattern is the same and the actual size of the winch appears to be a little smaller in Depth/Height/Width. The Apex winch has killer reviews and is a 3rd of the cost of the 12S anndddd comes with a forged hook/fairlead. Soooo has anyone done this combo?

    For Clarity Im Talkin about this Bumper

    and this winch Now.... I know there may be some people that will hate on this idea... Purists that say well why not just get the Warn winch blah blah blah.... lets keep all that to a minimum.

    Thanks!

    Just a FYI, I have that Warn bumper and the 12s winch, it is a pain to plug in the winch controller (unless you have small hands). I now have put on an extension kit for it and mounted at a easy access location. I understand why having a remote winch controller is worth it, so you may want to consider one with a remote if you are going to use it a lot.

    I knowww! This is one of the many reasons I'm curious as to whether an apex will fit in there or not as it comes standard with a wireless controller (backup plug in if controller is outta battery)
