No it cannot in stock form. However, I got mine to fit by elongating the mounting holes forward about 1/2". It's tight but works fine. Have used the winch numerous times with no problems.
What winch does fit as designed?
It fits my Quadratec i11000 with no issues. not sure how they compare in size.

@LandCruiserPhil has that winch also, he said it was a PITA to fit and get to the bolts.

even easier than calling..i imagine they get ths question a ton and thats why they added the applications to the front page lol.
as an aside pretty sure the warn endurance series 12k winch would fit since it shares the same chassis as the 9k ones not the larger M series chassis

Forgot that I already had these...Earlier I said I notched to the front. Actually it was to the rear. Driver Side and Pass. Side views. Also one from the bottom. (Forgot to go back and weld in where I notched out). And one down from the top. It really is a tight fit. Hope this helps.

Christo mentioned it was necessary to do so cutting to make a zeon fit. Would you mind posting up some pictures of the cut areas?

Will see what I can find, I think the panel under the grille, on the ones we did here, but I think instead of cutting on SNOWY Slee just relocated and remote mounted the MOFSET pack, and put the remote plug in the grille above the passenger driving light.
Then just screwed each side of the panel to the grille.
I also did a little mods to my one here for a Warn too.

It's not one of the popular brands but I shoehorned in a Tungsten T12000 without modifying the bumper. I just fabbed up a little offset adapter to move the control box forward and right to center it between the upper light tabs.
