Don't feel too bad, it's likely not far above trash. That being said there's a good chance many of us, including myself, will go for it.

I am happy to see this, but I am curious how this will mount with skid plate systems like from JCR or Metalcloak

Hmmm I'm not seeing it on their website. Maybe they took it down? Could be a game-changer for those of us with 2.7 + High/Lux packages.

Thanks! Also looks like this does require a bit of an involved installation, including oil cooler modifications and solenoid relocation. However, if this works with factory/aftermarket skid plates then I'm sold. No need to relocate any cameras or ACC, which I think is a fine tradeoff.

Anybody know if this requires any cutting?

You do have to cut some frame extensions off to mount this and if you took a good hit to the front lower you could damage the winch or whatever the winch hits.

Yes.

Yes it does. Download the instructions. Over 50 steps for the 2.7l with cutting and lots of disconnecting and relocating. On the fence...love the look of it but seems like a lot of work and room for error and once things are cut there is no going back or changing mods. Might just wait to see what other hidden winches come out in 2022. Can't wait to see some posts on how this goes for people.

Not sure if anyone saw this thread, nice high and tight with hidden winch.

Wow… that’s quite a bit of modification for V6 models. Not sure I wanna tackle it, but it is intriguing. Plus, not sure how much trust to put in a company that can’t proofread their own instructions. Use a “rest preventative” paint…

Lots of cutting and modification. This is not for the weekend warrior. You will also put a hurt on your resale value.

I doubt the hit to resale value (if the installation is done well) as most people would have no idea how involved the installation was or what was cut to accomplish it.

I do think that they made the installation overly complicated, but that's just me. It just doesn't need to be that complicated.

Sweet! Looks much better than the stock Everglades winch and I can still use the front mount BL camera.

Purchased! The long awaited solution is finally here.
