Nope. The Talon is even bigger than the EP. It is actually huge. I have a Talon and it is awesome but I had to modify my bumper to make it fit

Thanks for the info. I didn't know if the Talon was larger or not.

Are most of them Waterproof or do I need to be looking at that as well?

I have the 10.5K Rugged Ridge winch with synthetic rope. Reliable, no problems yet with it.

It's a little wider. Are you sure the EP won't fit?

Why not throw Smittybilt into the mix?

Per Shrockworks website: Known exceptions: Warn 8275, Superwinch EP & EPi, any worm gear style winch (these are typically industrial winches such as the ramsey RE 12000 and look very different from normal winches). The Tmax short-drum comp winch and the Warn 9.0RC will require re-drilling some holes. The Ramsey short-drum comp winch will bolt up w/o any mods.
