Winch on modular bumper (Badlands)

[FlyingBronco]

It was a suggestion, not a scolding for crying out loud. There‘s a ton of information that’s been posted on the subject. Entitled much?

OP admits not doing research and gives permission to “flog” him over it, then gets all weird when you are direct in telling him to look into it. You actually gave him some direction rather than solely ripping him.

OP, a few threads do mention how there are no “plug n play” winch solutions for mod bumper and Lux, quite yet. The market is still young, enjoy what you have til a great solution comes about.

Rough country has a hidden winch that mounts below the mod bumper.

That only works with the 2.3l iirc in their advertisement.

I've seen this comment before in a few places (Facebook and here) without links.. Mind sharing for the group?

All that Google yeilds is this: https://www.roughcountry.com/hidden...9AIVxh6tBh0EjQH3EAQYASABEgKHmfD_BwE#2921=6654

FYI this is not the mod bumper

 

[ManikMonday]

Yes and pictures that's not the mod bumper.. So it's only for the capable bumper with 2.3l both two things the OP does not have...

Can be made to work with the mod bumper but so far nothing for 2.7

So some fabricator made it work on the 2.3 mod bumper again far stretch from what the OP was asking and clearly rough country not endorsing it as not in their product photos. Like the OP would love an answer if there is something straight forward with the specs, saying not right now is also an easy answer

I’ll clear this up.

The product you seek does not yet exist.

Ford mount is out. And out of contention…..

You want to keep mod bumper and add winch, does not exist at this time. JCR is in preproduction but ACC question is TBD.

You must wait

Thanks for the reply, but the Bronco is far too nice of a truck to besmirch with Rough Country products.

Thanks. That's kind of a good summary, and a good reason to bring it up from time to time rather than rely on old forum threads. Much appreciated.

Just hangout for another 24 months and you will be able to pick from several options I would be super surprised if the aftermarket doesn't blow up by then.
I don't know how much off roading, overloading or how hard but I have been overloading before it was COO and i can count of 1 hand how many times i have needed a winch. Yes nice to have one but its not the end of the world if you don't have one is all i am saying

Thanks for the reply. I'm into rock crawling, so I use the winch pretty regularly when I attempt things that are sketchy. That's in the Jeep though. To your point, the Bronco will probably be used for lighter wheeling for the next year or two until I get it up on 37s, so the winch isn't a high priority until then.

COO If you haven't yet check out Fun havers setup on 37's I will also be on 37's at some point I am a overlander that leans towards rock crawling. Had to skip to many trails on our Moab trip, taco on 32's just wouldn't cut it beat the taco up a lot more then I wanted to

That only works on the 2.3l engine. The V6 isn’t compatible.

Got it. Thank you!

Thank you for the gentle scolding, and I hope you enjoyed that. Yes, I read about the Ford performance winch many times in the past. Issue is it interferes with the ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) as well as the camera, PER THE SPECS FROM THE PAGE ON THAT PRODUCT. Good grief.

Could I please get a slightly elevated reply with less redundant information. Sorry, but this sort of reply is irritating. But thank you for at least responding.

Camera is the only problem. My dealer is actually working with ford to edit instructions to say ACC can be relocated with the OEM winch.
