I'm pretty particular about anyone doing work on my vehicle believing few people racing against the clock will be a thorough as me. A little late in your case but to cinch the deal I tell the dealer to throw in the options I want at cost. They don't lose any money and gain a sale on the big ticket items.

 

Do it yourself.
It's not a experienced mechanic working on your atv at the dealer most of the time, they let the new guys add the winches and plows.
I'd rather have the front mount plow as you dont have plow gear hanging down under your atv with it.
My dealer installed a kfi 2500lbs winch on mine for 250 bucks, its not that great tho, I reused my plow off my old atv and it lifts it much slower than the 2500lbs super winch did on it. I have a old school plow that hooks to my trailer ball so I have no plow gear at all on the atv.

 

Rocky Mountain ATV has winch kits that are very reasonably priced and you would avoid hunting around for a winch mounting bracket. I purchased a Tusk 3500 lb winch with a synthetic rope for my Honda Rancher; it came with the mounting hardware, etc. The installation should be almost identical on your Rubicon. It is not difficult, comes with plenty of wire, etc. I would recommend it if you decide to do it yourself.
I don't own a plow and haven't installed one. But I'm guessing this too is straight forward. There should be numerous instructional videos on YouTube. Congrats on your new Rubicon, and good luck with your winch and plow.

 

Just bought my first ever ATV mostly for plowing and doing work with a small trailer on our property. Got a good deal on the quad, but the dealer pricing for adding a winch and plow is pretty steep. They carry the Honda branded Warn winch and want to install a Click n' Go 2 plow system.

It looks like I could save well over $1k by going with a Warn VRX 25 and a basic front mount Warn ProVantage mount/blade as long as I struggle through the install myself.

Anybody with a late-model Foreman or Rubicon have advice on a good setup or advice on whether it's worth just going the easy route and having the dealer do the install?

Crawling in snow to hook that plow up gets old fast, go with the click n go plow. Ask your dealer to instal the VRX 25s winch, my dealer installed mine.

 

Thanks for your input everyone. I'll give a go at sourcing and installing the equipment myself and report back on how painful it was. Hopefully I can get someone at Warn to confirm my parts list as the dealers I have contacted seem to have conflicting info on compatibility.

 

Go to Kolpin.com and they have very good priced winch and plow mount kits.
I just put a 3500 on my 2020 foreman.

 

I like the front mount Warn plow, I installed one myself on the 2018 Foreman. The Foreman came from the dealer with a Warn 2500 winch. I installed a 3500 Superwinch on my 2015 Rubicon and it was no big deal, put the contactor in the back tool kit box. I run a straight 60” plow blade on the Foreman, used the Warn Provantage front mount. Remove two pins and the winch rope attach bolt and the plow is removed, no crawling under the frame.

 

@Chrispee I don’t see where you described much of a mechanical background. Yes you could do it yourself but would you save much money?
the C2G systems are pretty popular as are the Warn winches. I do not like front mounts at all—i prefer mid mounts.
I only have front mount KFI blades on my work UTVs with Warn winches.
I have KFI mid mounts, push tubes and blades on my work ATVs with Warn winches.
i bought used Cycle Country Mid mounts, push tubes and blades with manual lift kits on 2 of my personal ATVs.
i installed a winch on my TRX300–the work is not complicated if you have quite a bit of electrical mechanical experience and tools. There are some basic methods you’ll need to know—otherwise could be money ahead to just pay the man.
