Lobo hidden winch mount installed

Would you say that the RC one got trashed over something minor or something that you would assume either brands would have become useless?

Our RC mount has been on 2 rocky trails and is well bent and tweaked. I'm concerned the winch may get damaged if the mounting plate bends more... Basically it's junk for any sort of rocky terrain or handling impacts. Great design concept but poor execution. Ordered the Lobo mount but still concerned about it holding up. It seems 1/4" steel would be beneficial for how low these Broncos sit on rocky trails.... but will see!

Thanks for the info. I definitely do rocky terrain/obstacles so this is a major concern for me.

Hard to say, it was damaged hitting rocks, time will tell if the Lobo holds up, but it seems to be of higher quality than the RC.

It scares me to think of an expensive piece of electronic gear hidden away with no access to clean or maintain, but it may be just me!
Up front and proud! Warn 10s with support from China...(added camera relocation shortly after the pic was taken)

I’ve never used the winch, only ever used a winch to recover others for that matter

anyway I actually drove mine to Moab and banged it off rocks

no damages but I want to post

Bumping this thread to see if anyone has any further reviews of the Lobo or RC winch mounts?
