I don't believe you have to move it if you have the 2.3L I4, at least for the Lobo kit. I have the Lobo hidden mount and a Warn Platinum and am planning to install soon. I don't think I have to relocate the winch electrical either based on some of the related threads here. I will provide pics when I do. Also this is for a 2026 Badlands (4dr), non-SAS, manual with capable bumper.

The pic is of a different trail, but it's what I had available.

Metal Tech 4x4 Stronghold winch mount.
Best on the market IMHO.
Make sure to get the frame horn reinforcements.

Warn Zeon 10s winch & baja designs light bar.
Had to relocate ACC in to the grill. JCR camera relocation kit. TURN has the same one.
Doesn’t affect approach angle.
No cooling issues, we live in Vegas.

Just picked up my Bronco recently. I was checking this winch mount out and coudn't find the frame reinforcements. Do you happen to have a pic? Curious if they are one piece that go around the frame or more. The mount looks to me like it sits higher than the Ford one but it sounds like it blocks the ACC. What relocation kit did you go with and do they mess with the active grill shutters?

It’s not an easy install, I would recommend the Turn Offroad camera and ACC relocation. I removed the active grill shutter fins in grille. You have to leave the actuator or it will throw a code. I would reccomend you call MetalTech. They’ve been working on their website and I found it’s easier just to call and ask. They’re very helpful. I know they’re paring down their Bronco offerings lately. Any other questions LMK.

Yeah, they're highly regarded in the Land Cruiser world. Found out they discontinued the frame reinforcements due to price point. A lot of mounts go higher to tuck the winch back for clearance but that puts increased stress on the frame. Does your winch sit somewhat on the factory bumper?

It’s just forward of the bumper. The plate is pretty tight up against it though.
