IAG winch mount - anyone installed yet?

[Hemisfear]

Why does the IAG website say their mount doesn't work with the Warn winches? @Hemisfear ?

I couldn't tell you, I mounted a ZEON 10 with no issues, but I did raised mine slightly to run the cables under it...I had no issues at all with the fairlead mount.

It looks to be better quality than the rough country ones I see. Although lower a bit. Would you take a picture low and to the side so I can see the approach angle? Thanks!

I don't see any issues with the approach angle.

Sorry about the lighting, the sun glare hit my camera, and I didn't feel like pulling her out of the garage.
Next time I take her out I should be able to get you a better pic in the daylight.

Also, I just upgraded to the Factor55 Ultrahook and rope guard, so that it will fit flush against the fairlead (and there will be no need to hook it to a shackle). I hope to have that installed by next week.

What did you do to raise it up?

These are what I used. Local shop, EPIC Adventure Outfitters, gave me a couple they had lying around.

Installed the IAG winch bumper today and used the advice of @Hemisfear on the winch spacer plates and the Warn Zeon 10s fit with no problem. I used the DV8 camera relocation bracket. I really like the look, I just hope it’s strong enough.

Not at all, ACC works like it should...

I purchased this for my BRaptor but the shop is concerned about moving the parking sensors and the real issue potentially would affect the Adaptive Cruise Control. Any concerns here? Thanks

None that I’m aware of, sensors work as they should and adaptive cruise works too, I just got back from a tour of the South West, ending up in Moab for the Bronco Safari and both worked flawlessly!

I highly recommend the Factor 55 Ultrahook and rope guard. Well worth the $$.

My buddy fabricated a cover for my synthetic line (corrugated plastic) to protect from the sun. It also prevents freezing in winter conditions.

I ordered one on Amazon that I’m pretty sure is the exact same one (there are some others on Amazon that look similar, but have some differences). I will likely install this weekend. I understand that when you install a winch, something has to be calibrated for the air bags (or something similar) - has anyone had their service department make this calibration/adjustment? If so, what did that entail?

I just ordered the IAG winch mount, not aware that you can't use Warn Winches, specifically the Warn EVO VR 10-S I believe.

With that spacer kit that's been discussed, will that solve the problem w/the Warn EVO VR 10-S?

So, what winches work and don't work w/the IAG winch mount, specifically models in the 10K range.

I prefer Warn, but will the Super Winch models fit?

Thanks.


PS - With this winch mount, will this affect the front end due to the added offset weight?

Zero issues with the Zeon 10S.

Zero issues with the Zeon 10S.

I was hoping to get the Warn EVO VR 10-S, which isn't quit as expensive as the Zeon 10S is.

While the Zeon is manufactured in the US, which I would much prefer, which explains for its higher cost, the Warn EVO VR 10-S sadly is manufactured in China, which I don't like, but it's still a Warn.

I've owned nothing but Warn in the past.

I can confirm it doesn’t fit, a buddy had to modify his with a grinder in order to mount up a Warn EVO VR 10-S

Mine is not IAG, but looking at it, it is exactly the same as the Amazon (Maxzina, Chinese, no longer offered on Amazon) one I bought last fall. The Warn EVO 10 definitely does not fit. Lots of modification to get the hole pattern to line up, and had to drill out the sensor holes.
I can't speak to the quality of the finish on the IAG, but the one I got (again, NOT IAG) was so bad I had it stripped down before I started the modifications so the integrity of the finish wouldn't be breached.
To be honest, I haven't minded the work I've had to do to get it to work, considering I only paid $150 for it.
Pics to follow once I get it back from finishing and mounted up.
Extending the front parking sensors to reach the new mounting location wasn't bad, and I was able to cut the sensor holes in a way that was able to use the OEM plastic sensor clips.

Questions about your Winch setup, if you wouldn't mine answering?

I have my IAG winch mount sitting right next to me ready to be installed.

When it comes to the installation, is the point when the IAG mount attaches to the Frame Ends strong enough to handle the Force put upon the assembly when under load.

There are these additional bracket pieces available:

Then I'm also looking at this Superwinch SX10SR 12V DC 10,000lb Synthetic Rope Winch, which sadly is Chinese made, but the problem, WILL IT FIT?

Also too, would the old Warn M8000 Winch fit, since it is a plain and simple design, which I've owned a couple of, but sadly is only 8000 lbs, while the recommendation for the Bronco is at least a 10,000 lb.

Hi,

Hemisfear, I've been trying to find these, but w/no luck.

Anyone else you know of who might sell something like this.

You wouldn't happen to have any dimensions for these spacers by any chance?


Thanks.
