Badlands Build 37" | 3.5" 4WP Coilovers | Arms | Track Bar | RC Hidden Winch | Fender Deletes

Awesome build!

Question: How do you use the hidden winch? Do the newer winches have an electronic release? I don’t see how someone would operate the clutch lever in that mount, much less monitor the drum to prevent the cable from packing up on one side.

I was unaware of this when I installed mine and my short fat arms dont reach low enough to turn the handle. Im making a handle that will reach so that I can engage the clutch...

Beautiful!...I SO love that winch set up.

That is the cleanest winch setup i've seen todate. unfortunately I have the 2.7, so I guess I have to wait for another solution.

I'm in the same boat...really need to figure out a way to run that set on the 2.7.

Did you add an on-board air compressor with a connection outlet on the front bumper or it that a connection for the winch?

Lux package and a badland winch??

 

[Evolkidbell]

Looks great.
Curious if the coil-overs came preset at 3.5" of lift or if you cranked them up?

Badland's winch has a great reliability reputation and is in use by loads of 4wheelers.
No need to pay the Warn tax anymore.

All looks great! Dedicated for off-road? Wouldn’t want to be behind you with all that poke and no flares, but no negs here that looks amazing. Well done.

Can't wait to see what mods OP made to fit the RC to the MOD bumper! I talked to someone at RC a couple weeks ago to see about their progress on the version for the MOD, and he was very hopeful they would have that version ready for sale before Christmas - said they had their prototypes built.

I've been trying to figure out how to get to the clutch or get an extension. There is a company (Vice) that seems to make extender handles for the Warn EVOs - they specialize in Ram mods, but that flexible one might have enough length to get you close to a point behind the MOD that you could easily reach. (in conjunction with rotating that side of the winch). I have also seem some "long reach" handles that should work, given it is a pretty clear line of sight from the top of the engine, if you needed. Or, you could just go with 'power-spooling' it out rather than disengaging the clutch. Not great, but will certainly work.

RC has 12 days to make that promise happen.
Pressure is on. LOL

When I spoke with RC they said after the first of the year for the Hidden Winch mount for Mod bumper. I'll follow for more info and pics. Great looking build so far!

Dude, you’re killing’ me…not sure I can handle another 2 weeks of refreshing my screens - bad deja vu of waiting for the bronco build notification!

The hidden winch looks like best solution for folks with front camera and ACC, but how much front approach angle and clearance do you loose?
