Line pull is a serious thing to know and understand. Ultimately the vernacular of "1.5x vehicle weight" as a minimum has been used for a long time. But there's more to know if you're serious about having the right tool for the job. Don't forget that you also need to include all of the weight of your gear, humans and possibly the dancing girls into the pre-multiplier weight. So a lightly loaded rig should have approximately 2x vehicle weight as a minimum for winch capacity.
1/2" plate or GTFO!
(kidding. Thanks for finding the material thickness, 11 gauge is great! They aren't making much profit on these things with metal prices these days)
If you add a snatch pulley to double the pulling power, you have as much as 24k worth of pulling power and my 2 door OBX Bronco at its max GWVR is 5760. So even then, it's still 2.08x times the max GWVR single line and double line would be 4.16x the max GWVR.
Looks awesome! Will it work with the heavy duty upgraded ford front bumper?Another, more affordable for winch mount for those in the market.
2021 Bronco Rough Country Hidden Winch Mount & Skid Plate Kit 51054
2021 Bronco Rough Country Hidden Winch Mount Features:
Adds a Clean, Low-Profile Mount for Rough Country's Winches on your 2021 Bronco
- Adds clean, low-profile winch mounting and protection
- Compete winch mount and skid plate kit
- High and tight install under the stock bumper
- Compatible with Rough Country 9500S and 12000S winches
- Requires minor frame trimming for installation
- Comes with install hardware and instructions
- Will not fit Bronco Sport
The 2021 Broncos may be able to hit the dirt and the trails straight off the showroom floor, but tackling tough terrain without a good plan B and a good recovery solution is never a good idea. The Rough Country Hidden Winch Mount Kit for 2021 Broncos gives your aggressive, off-road Bronco build some extra protection and an extremely clean, low-profile mounting solution for one of Rough Country's high-quality winches or similarly-sized winches. The Rough Country Bronco Hidden Winch Mount tucks tight under your 2021 Bronco's front bumper and features a cutout for a fairlead and is even compatible with Rough Country's Tow Hook Shackle Conversion kit so that you get a bunch of different recovery options. Each mount and skit plate has an awesome, angular design that gives your 2021 Bronco a vicious, tough look that is sure to turn some heads. The winch mount includes an integrated skid plate to replace the factory guard panel and installs using a combination of the stock mounting mounting points and included hardware, though some frame trimming is required for final installation. Complete Winch Mount Kit with Integrated Skid Plate made from Powder Coated Steel
The Rough Country Bronco Hidden Winch Mount is built extremely tough so that it can handle and survive tough off-road and overland applications without letting you down. Both the winch mount and the skid plate are made entirely out of steel and come topped off with a textured black powder coat finish that keeps them protected from corrosion in almost any climate and application. The skid plate comes with laser-cut "RC" lettering that gives the entire kit a great look. The winch mount was designed to work with Rough Country's 9500S winch or Rough Country's 1200S winch with synthetic ropes. The winch plate features a standard 10x4.5" bolt pattern, and other winches of similar dimensions to Rough Country's winches may fit. The Rough Country winch mount requires some frame cutting for installation and comes with install hardware and instructions.

That's a good question...
I think, aside from the styled vs flat skid plate, the RC is very similar.Meh. Not for me.
I will wait to see if someone makes a mount like the 4600 has. It will not effect the approach angle. If no one makes one I'm sure I can figure it out and fab one up myself.
We put some rollers on there... "It's fine..."Similar yes but it will have an effect on the approach angle.
I've added the RC in green to give an idea of where I am going with this.
Excellent design. Plays nicely with 2 door full body bash plate?Another, more affordable for winch mount for those in the market.
