With how tight the package is, you will not easily be able to reach the lever. You will need to extract the cable by reversing the drum or upgrade to the platinum.
The plan of attack at the moment is to put the front bumper, aluminum skid, and winch skid into production. Fallowing that we will be moving onto rear bumper, and sliders. With a couple smaller intricate items in between.
Mechanically, the winch skid plate will work on both the 2.3 and 2.7 currently, however the heat exchanger on the 2.7 needs to be relocated. We are working on a solution now.
I see you guys have added a fair lead to the website. Is there not an equivalent opening planned in the winch skid? Is there a need to add the fair lead?
Do you have a mock up on the WNC?Thanks everyone for your interest so far! The feedback both here and on our socials has been great. For anyone who would like to get on an interest list for this or any of the products we're working on, we've set up "Wait Lists" for each of them, on our website. Just go to the product page for whatever upcoming LOBO Off-Road product you're interest in and click the JOIN WAIT LIST button. Enter your name and email address and you're on the list! Here are the direct links to the product pages several of the items we're currently working on (note that some of these pages haven't been fully fleshed out yet, and most of our website is still in its infancy):
Getting on the Wait List for any of these products is NOT BINDING, meaning that it won't obligate you in any way. We don't like pre-orders because we don't want to take anyone's money before we have a product to send them. But we will be working from these waiting lists to determine initial production numbers and to allocate the first run items to those who showed interest by getting on these lists. And again, if you do get on the list then decide not to use your spot in line when it's time to order, we're cool with that too. So there's no obligation, it just helps us gauge interest and allocate first units, and provides us with a way to contact you when they are ready to accept orders.
By the way, I still do not have pricing worked out, or anything resembling a reliable ETA that I'm comfortable stating yet. So even if your interest is dependent on pricing or the availability date, it would still be helpful to have you on the list. Of course you can back out when you learn pricing and ETA, if those don't meet your expectations.
Thanks again for the interest, keep those questions coming
The hole within the winch skid is large, but would highly recommend a fairlead, as the edge of the skid plate is sharp. Other Fairleads will work, I just designed this one to flow with the approach angle of the skid plate etc.
In the process of the design. But nothing worth showing yet. It will be very similar to the HNT non winch bumper, but obviously with proper clearance for the winch and transition of body line to accommodate. Hope that gives you a picture of the direction we are going for. Plan to have CAD pictures soon.
