Help! - Which ComeUp winch will fit my ARB? 9.5 vs 12k? (1 Viewer)

[yoda-g3]

Title says it all. My 9k Superwinch stopped working so I decided to replace it vs fixing it. I'm leaning towards a 12.5k due to mine being a HEAVY rig.

I stumbled across this thread talking about how "integrated winches don't work with the ARB". What does that mean?

ComeUp Integrated Winch Install on and ARB bumper

I recently took possession of a '96 FZJ80 that is fully locked. I have only had the vehicle for about a month now but I have fallen in love with it. It came with the ever popular ARB bumper with the winch cut out but it did not have a winch. Comeup Winch Instal by Torch Engineering posted Dec...

I want a simple bolt in solution. I don't want to fabricate anything on this. Looking at ComeUP's site, I'm confused as to the model # differences. It kind of looks like all of them have a relocatable control box?

I see these as my options:

Solo 12.5 RS
Seal Slim 12.5 RS
Seal Slim 12.5 S

Pics show my bumper.

Call one of the Comeup vendors like Slee and ask, I’m no help since I don’t have an ARB

I emailed them and haven't heard back yet. I was hoping to get some feedback before calling them to see if there is more data in the wild.

I have the 9.5 in my vehicle, but I think the 12.5 would also fit just fine with the removable solenoid pack. Either way, you need 1/2" of spacers between the bumper and the winch so the ends of the winch don't hit the inside of the bumper as it tapers back.

Call the boys at @cruiseroutfit Cruiser Outfitters and they'll set you up with exactly what you need.

Thanks! I will!

Thanks! I will!

You'll need longer bolts as well to compensate for the spacers. As I recall the Comeup includes metric bolts for their square nuts that sit in the feet of the winch. I *think* they were M10x1.5 but its been a while... I had to order longer bolts as none of the big-box stores in my neck of the woods had the ones I needed in stock. Again, the guys at cruiser outfitters will point you in the right direction.

What 9.5 model is it? Solo or Real Slim?

I run the Seal Slim 12.5 part #295057 and #884026 bracket and it fits with about .5” spacing as well. Jon at Comeup can clear up any part number confusion. He’s plenty familiar with 80s. Slee, Cruiser Outfitters or Delta can also help you with purchase.
