Anyone relocated camera for winch mounting?

[Usurdt01]

I have a 2023 Badlands, with surround view, cameras, trying to put a winch on the front, but the camera is in the way. Has anybody relocated their front camera?

thanks

Most companies that sell winch mounts will also sell camera relocation kits. Not sure which winch mount you bought, but I'd check to see if they have a relocation kit.

Also worth noting that once you move the camera many of the 360 camera views won't look quite right since the calibration was changed. (But it's still probably better than having the camera blocked.)

There are bumpers that have the winch mounted low as to not interfere with the camera. As mentioned earlier if you move the camera the view will be screwed up and probably not able to be adjusted. I bought a Fab Fours bumper and you can barely see the top of the Warn winch in the camera view.

Thanks, I’ll look into that bumper

Here’s a picture of my bumper

That would be perfect, I will send it to my guy that’s putting it together for me
Thanks

I didn't notice any such problem with the views .
Just by a camera relocation kit, it's pretty simple to do. There are a few out there, some cheaper than others

I'm going to use this when I stop being lazy and install my winch.

I just relocated my front camera and the 360 view is a little off. Can that be recalibrated or is it just what it is at this point?

I actually just finished installing the RC high mount and I relocated my camera and washer hose to under the fairlead. The 360 can mesh is just a little off when your moving, but probably shouldn't be looking hard at that often during parking.
Didn't use any extra brackets, just a cable extended and hose extension, cut out the bottom of the "RC," drilled 2 holes for the screws, and bolted it on, with camera feed through the now more open "RC" and the washer hose through the grid hole directly below. It would definitely not fit the washer hose at least with a light bar installed.

Ignore my cluttered garage lol, 3 kids leads to disorganization lol

I installed a Barricade front winch bumper and used the rough country camera relocation bracket. Looks great and camera view is unaffected, 360 view and all looks good.

I used mountains to metal relocate with 4wp front bumper. Everything works perfect.

The bigger issue is if you have ACC, most winch bumpers don’t accommodate it and the relocation brackets seem to move it way up and to the side, not sure I would trust it being off center.

I installed the Fab Fours relocation bracket. It goes behind the Shutters on the driver side. I couldn’t make it work. No matter how I adjusted it it would glitch out and when this happens it disables cruise. Then you have to stop and recycle the ignition. This is a PITA on a trip as you have to pull over and stop. I relocated it in front of the shutters close to the center of the grill. It works perfectly now.
