Winch and mount

[inkd6973]

Winch Mount- rough country high mount.
Winch-zeak 13000lb, synthetic rope, wireless.
It's a cheap winch, so my expectations are low.

the mount seems solid. it was missing a couple nuts.
but the instructions were possibly the worst ived ever seen.\
jump ahead to assembling and install the mount.
then the trim around factory recovery points.
don't use instructions, just eyeball the trim pieces. i followed the "instructions" and ruined my passenger side piece. i eyeballed the other side, and was much better,

Looks good. Thanks for the heads up on encountered issues. I like how tight it tucks against the bumper & if I were to ever add a winch I would be looking at this mount.

It looks good!

It does look really good. I like that you aren't adding 2 feet to the bumper. Still kinda sucks about your front camera though. Going to attempt relocation?

Yeah I think jc off-road has the relocate mount, so I'll give that a try.

I'm so torn. Either way, I'm going to have to alter the vehicle for a winch. I hate the idea of cutting the frame for a hidden winch, and I hate the idea of having my front camera exposed. The problem is, I need a winch for how I get my wood for the winter lol

I'm with you. I really liked the look of the hidden, but didn't want to cut anything, plus I was worried about clearance without a lift.
I'm going to see if there is anyway to relocate the camera up higher in the grill first.

The problem I have with moving the camera, it will screw up the photo stitching on the 360. You would have to move linear with the angle already, like a zoom, if you will.

I did the same mount. Relocated the control box. Gave me some of my camera back. I don’t rock crawl, so it’s good enough for now.

Can you show us where you relocated the control box to? Even for us who do not have the front camera - it would still be nice to show more of the BRONCO logo, etc.

How has the Zeak held up?

Puller my cousin out of a small ditch.
My jobsite parking lot flooded so I used the winch to life the storm grates. Was wonderful!!!
That's my only use so far, and without bitch.

Nice that you can watch how the cable is spooling up with that camera view.

I’m going to remove the “SmittyBilt” and put “YOU HAVE TO DRIVE THIS HOME” on that cross brace instead. LOL
