VR Evo 8-S 12V Winch by Warn

The Warn VR Evo 8-S 12V Winch is purpose-built for lighter 4WDs, Jeeps and SUVs, providing dependable recovery power when mud, rocks, ice or deep ruts stop progress.

Its IP68-rated construction, series-wound motor and three-stage planetary gear train are engineered for harsh conditions. The synthetic rope keeps weight down and is easier to handle than steel cable.

A two-in-one wired and wireless remote provides flexible operation, while the relocatable control pack supports low-profile installations. The result is a practical recovery winch for smaller rigs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size vehicles is the VR Evo 8-S suited to?

The VR Evo 8-S is engineered for lighter 4WDs, Jeeps and SUVs. With a rated line pull of 8,000lb (3,629kg), it has capacity for most smaller rigs running standard accessories. For a full-size ute or heavily loaded wagon, consider the 10-S or 12-S.

Will it fit my bull bar?

The VR Evo 8-S uses the standard 254mm x 114.3mm mounting bolt pattern, which is compatible with the majority of winch-ready bull bars on the Australian market. Always confirm your bar's load rating supports an 8,000lb winch before fitting.

What comes in the box?

The winch comes with the VR Evo 8-S unit, 9.5mm x 27.4m synthetic rope pre-spooled on the drum, a hawse fairlead, a two-in-one wired and wireless remote, battery leads, and mounting hardware.

Does it have a wireless remote?

Yes. The included two-in-one remote works both wired with a 3.5m lead and wirelessly, so you can operate the winch from inside the cab or from a safe distance during recovery.

How waterproof is the VR Evo 8-S?

The entire winch construction is rated IP68, meaning it is sealed against continuous water immersion and dust ingress. It is built for muddy, wet and creek-crossing conditions.

What battery does this winch need?

Warn recommends a minimum 650 CCA battery for winching. If your vehicle has a smaller battery or runs many accessories, adding a dual battery system is worth considering.

What warranty does the VR Evo 8-S come with?

The Warn VR Evo range is backed by a limited lifetime mechanical warranty and a 7-year electrical warranty.

Can the control pack be relocated?

Yes. The control pack can be repositioned for low-profile installations where the standard position would foul the bonnet or other accessories.

Why Shop With Us

Why Shop at 4x4 Down Under?

We know that you have a lot of options out there, and we’re incredibly grateful that you’re considering spending your hard earned money with us. We like to think we stand out from the crowd in a few ways.

Excellent & Honest Service

We try and provide the best pre and after sales service possible. If you have a question we’re here to help, and if we don’t know the answer we’ll tell you and then do our absolute best to find the answer for you. We’re also here to guide you to the best possible outcome for you. A lot of stores will simply try to up-sell you on the most expensive option. That’s not how we operate. We want to build a relationship with our customers, and the only way to do that is by being honest and direct.

4x4 Down Under is built on honesty and integrity. For example when you make a purchase with us we only charge your account once we confirm the product is ready for dispatch. Although we like to guarantee everything on our store is available we’re not perfect and mistakes do happen. If something turns out to not be available we’ll let you know immediately and you have the option to cancel your order or wait for more stock to arrive. Should you not want to wait the order is voided, and there’s no waiting a week to get your money back (it’s instant!).

Aussie and Proud!

We're Australians, and we like to support our fellow Australians, which is why all our products are sourced locally from the official Australian distributors. Nothing is imported directly and we don't stock any grey imports. This also means that all manufacturer warranties are fully honored by the brands themselves.

No Sales Gimmicks 

When you shop at 4x4 Down Under you don’t have to worry about:
  • Annoying and dishonest ’Sales Timers’ that simply reset every few hours and are there to coerce you into buying.
  • Dishonest “low stock” labels, another coercive sales gimmick.
  • False “John just bought a…” alerts. Our customer alerts (bottom left) are 100% true and we're proud of them.
  • Being bombarded by trust badges and labels everywhere you look that mean nothing. 
  • We don't spam! Your information is safe with us. It will never be shared or sold, or used to fill your inbox with garbage.

Fast Shipping with Insurance!

We've partnered with some of Australia's best couriers and freight agents to ensure your purchase reaches you in super-quick time. Once your order has been dispatched you'll receive tracking information which will allow you to track your order online every step of the way. And if something should happen to your order while in transit you can rest assured that it's insured and you won't lose a dime!

If you still have any doubts feel free to give us a call on 1300 76 86 41, or contact us here. We'd love to hear from you.
