ABCs of Off-roading - Ford Bronco: Articulation, Breakover Angle, Crawl Ratio

Or add a winch the rear bumper too.

Costs twice as much as one winch, but not nearly as much to engineer!

How about a 2" receiver on the front AND rear bumper, with a hitch mounted winch, so you can move it around as needed. Have an electrical hookup next to the receiver, much like a hitch wiring.

These should be able to handle the draw of a winch, no?

I'm the wrong guy to ask questions about wiring... I hate electricity... that crap is invisible and it hurts! But, I have seen people do this. It's a pretty sweet setup and then you don't have to lug the winch around for daily driving.

Just noticed that the first pic has a soft-top and ugly wheels while the others are hardtops with nice wheels.

The “ugly wheels” you talk about are actually badlands , optional rims lol

This was unknown at the time. I’m not a fan of them, but being an option is fine with me. I’m sure someone else likes them.

If you want to rock crawl, articulation is the name of the game. Here's my TJ (first year of the Rubicon) up in Moab.
