The WARN VR EVO 8 Winch is a high-performance standard-duty recovery winch engineered for 2-door Jeeps and lighter SUVs. With an 8,000 lb single-line pulling capacity, fast line speed, and lower amp draw, the VR EVO 8 is built to handle everyday recovery situations with confidence.
Designed with IP68-rated waterproof construction, this winch is fully sealed against water, mud, and dust. A high-performance Albright® contactor housed in a relocatable control pack delivers maximum electrical reliability and allows for clean, low-profile installations. Tactical styling, durable materials, and a 2-in-1 wired and wireless remote make the VR EVO 8 one of WARN’s most versatile winches to date.
