I have a 2023 Wildtrak and a very good friend purchased a new 2024 Wildtrak. He told me that he was going to return it as the Warn winch dealer could not install a winch due to the sensors in the bumper and the front camera aa that they did not make one to incorporate these features. To which I responded BS! I do not have or want a winch but please someone let me know which bumper and winch he can install that will keep his sensors and front camera.. Money or cost is not a problem. I just want to keep him in a Bronco

The parts guy at the for dealer or probably a good off road mod shop can suggest several options that will give your buddy a bumper, winch and front camera relocation kit. This is not the only person that needs a front camera / winch solution. When money is not an issue there are options.

I don’t have the answer but I would put a strong wager it’s been done and someone will post a solution pretty quick.

Pretty much every major aftermarket bumper maker now is offering sensor and camera relocation kits for use with their offerings. There's several threads about this, I'd suggest doing a search and wading through the threads.

JCR is making a winch plate that offers such which will bolt on to the capable and modular bumpers.

This is what I got. Buckleupoffroad.com should have them back in stock soon. Fairly easy install and everything works including ACC.

I went with the Warn Elite Bumper because it would take the Zeon winch I already had from my previous truck. Some of the other bumpers I looked at would only take a smaller profile winch. As you can see it has the cutouts for the sensors and it did not effect my front camera that much.

Most after market front bumpers have the sensors capable of being installed, several have camera locations. A little searching and your friend will find multiple options.

Plenty of winch capable bumpers that are compatible with front mounted sensors and cameras. Some mfgs even offer a relocation bracket for the camera. Looking through this specific forum is a good starting point…

Installed mine. Fortunately I have a Wildtrak without the lux package or any front sensors, so going to an aftermarket bumper was easy. Here are pics.

If you look, there’s a thread that’s been stickied with a spreadsheet to answer these kind of questions. Seems like maybe you didn’t look. There are many options that will work.
