Modular Bumper Winch Mounts

[Blaylock1988]

Wow.....it looks like it doesn't block the ACC module. It will require a camera relocation, and it appears to block 2 parking sensors however....hmmmmm.....this seems like it has potential!

(and Harbor Freight keeps posting their Badlands 12000 winch for under $300....)

It has relocations for the middle 2 sensors.

That’s how thick the ford performance winch plate is that is in my wife’s bronco. Granted they do have bracing welded underneath as well on the ford setup. What worries me more about this and the JCR setup is no added support for the frame rail ends. Ford’s setup as braces that go down each side and on the bottom of the frame rails to stiffen it.

Good point, I'm gonna pick up these frame reinforcements from LOD to help.

You're right, I see that now. The description says it comes with the extensions (I didn't read the specs at first), and it does appear they're on either side of the cable lead. Add in the JCR camera bracket, and this could definitely be a viable option for a winch!

I have that page saved for the price it seems to be a great supplement to a bolt on winch setup.

Just received shipped email from RC, we shall soon see and either pick it apart or praise it lol.

the other thing I'll be interested in seeing is if the camera relocation bracket from JCR fits it. The example images seem to have a very large winch in it, but blocks the camera a lot.

But if the bracket works, this seems a sub $800 set up for a complete set up (Harbor Freight Badlands 12000 winch seems to regularly have coupons getting it under $300).

Let us know if you see that coupon again. They had 25% off one item for Memorial Day, but I think list price was about $580 in my store before discount

It's literally live right now, I did see the Memorial Day sale for 289 vs 299, I just wasn't ready to pull the trigger yet (and I was broke that weekend)

I'm curious how the visibility is with the stock camera location with a control pack relocation. I may try that first before buying the JCR kit. I went with the Smittybilt X2O Gen 3, 4WP has $100 off $750 (I had to add a $12 Smittybilt item to bring the cart over $750).

I also got my tracking number for my RC mount, it may show up before my winch does.

I did my research on the Harbor Freight winch, too many failures specifically at the mounting points. $300 for the winch is tempting, but not worth the risk.

I am interested in how this mount works out with a camera and control pack relocate.

Guess what just released on RC's site!

I already ordered it, now I need to order a winch to go on it. I also ordered JCR's pre-runner bar which I think will go very nicely with this winch setup.

Super excited a d hope there are some install threads on this sucker. Thanks for the heads up


Been torn between the hidden. and if this one would come out.

At $209 this is my solution for today, if hidden comes out in my lifetime then I’ll get that.

Same here. I like the stealth of the hidden, but it's been suggested by some that having the winch that low is less than ideal. Plus this one will look great with the JCR prerunner hoop!
