Anyone get a winch on their order?

[Regulator Johnson]

Just submitted my order today and there was nowhere on the dealer’s builder program to add a winch. Am I the only that noticed this?

Check out Four Wheel Parts. You can get the same winch for $1682.99

Good catch, not sure when that changed, had to go back and look. Sure enough it was the steel cable.

Gonna be honest, I was watching the overland build video yesterday and they specifically said synthetic on the video, and didn’t catch the difference on B&P.

Yea, I was "duped" at first by that as well. Who knows what the actual final product will be. We all just need to stick together and stay informed!!!

Lol, well I should know by now that when a mistake is made, I can count on my fellow 6g peeps to keep me straight, like within seconds. Like a lion taking down a gazelle. But, keeps me straight, so thanks!

At least you didn't put "Anyone get a wench with their order"

Yes and hopefully by then the have a work around for the front camera blocking issue.

Who knows, maybe they will develop a more Bronco specific winch that is a couple of inches shorter to reduce camera blockage. If you think about it, that might be why they are waiting as that is sure to be a sore spot for many. Another fix could be to move the camera itself. Possibly higher? I guess we will see...

There's this:

Maybe not this exact model, but it would solve the camera issue without having to remove and re-attach the camera. Just moves the connection box to one side and clears it from the center where your camera sits.

I converted with the winch, but the dealership (likely none) know the install cost because they have never done one on this vehicle before. The winch, Roof Rack, Pod lights, are all dealership installations.

My dealership does custom pickups and lifts, so they have technicians who can do this work and likely estimate, but don't want to do so, so customers don't get funny later; I'll accept that.

As long as it's not several hundred, I'll let them do the install, but if it's a crazy amount, I'll take it to a 4x4 shop to install. Would do it myself on an older vehicle, but won't take chances here.

I added a winch to my brand new 2015 JK with a Smittybilt Winch (can't imagine WARN winches are much different) and all I needed was access to the winch mount, some wrenches and zip ties for the electrical lines. With factory installed AUX switches, it's even easier. Just trying to save you some $$$.

That's a "Platinum", not 100% sure of the difference but it's wireless at least and it's also steel cable as well as a roller fairlead. I'm in the synthetic rope and hause (sp?) fairlead camp myself myself. Only the best for Mall Crawling' Baby!

The zeon 10 on amazon is about a grand, couple hundred for a mount and you're good to go. Upgrade the winch to synthetic cable for $1300 and couple hundred for the mount and you're well below the Ford price.

What would you need the AUX switches for? Isn't it just + and - right to the battery and then the remote controls the winch in/ out?

Don’t come in here posting common sense. You should know better.

Not trying to be an ass but I hear people talking about the AUX switches for stuff that makes me scratch my head.

It's going to be a long wait to finally get this thing and start working on it!!!

Oh oh, here comes @Squatch and @EvlNvrDys with the pics.

Wiring a power interrupt to an aux switch isn't a bad idea

THAT'S RIGHT! Forgot about that!

 

[hbdcowboys]

Another issue is I got the high package, in pics the winch clearly blocks the 2 middle sensors on the front bumper. How is there a way to work around that?
