2022 Bronco hardtop 2 -door winch set up suggestions

[Patrickgault]

Hi everyone! I have the 2022 HD bumper with brush guard. Does anyone have a winch set up suggestion that may have had to adapt to the same or similar set up? Thanks in advance.

rough country makes a hidden winch setup that would work for this... can't get a link due to at work but google it and you should find it

I appreciate it. Thanks for replying.

I'm pleased with the RC high mount. Not a fan of the hidden mounts personally.

No suggestion from me b/c I've got an aftermarket bumper, but your engine size makes a difference (2.3 vs 2.7) and whether or not you have adaptive cruise control, which looks like you do.

Reminds me of last weekend. Had to pull a Dodge truck out of a hole in the river. The closest guy with a winch couldn't reach his clutch lever so he had to electrically unspool it. Thankfully he had a working battery operated remote controller. Lot's of time wasted, but we got the dude out eventually.

Yup, went with basically that, but with rated recovery points instead of tow hooks and proper material thickness to withstand impacts without bending into the body.

Nice, I appreciate it. Looks great. I am hoping to find something that will work with my existing stock mod bumper and bar.

More than happy with my IAG mount...

Did you need to beef up the suspension for the bumper and winch or is stock OK??
I was looking at the ARB Summit but the weight makes me think I would need better suspension?

Hey Rick...Sweet bumper! But that rogue rack looks like it is suffocating. No squats today!

There's multiple threads on the RC mount on the HD bumper, this one probably makes a good start.

UV damage is the one weakness of those soft shackles. I would definitely put those back in the truck.

I have the RC hidden mount. Like you mentioned access to the clutch sucks. it’s a major pain in the ass to power out line, other choice is to pop the hood, climb up on the core support and reach down to access the clutch, which also sucks.

I live with it, because I do like how the winch tucks in, and is out of sight. I would love to get a Warn Zeon Platinum with the electrically controlled clutch, but man those are pricey, plus won’t fit the RC mount. But they will fit the Lobo mount. Maybe I need to start saving my pennies.
