Yup and the price was only for the first 3. Clean setup though. If I get a winch this is probably the route I’d go.

questions - I have a '21 Badlands. I currently have a DV8 bumper on it and have relocated the ACC sensor using the DV8 relo bracket. I would love to go back to the original bumper (which I will have to source) and install your solution.
Given that I have relocated the ACC sensor already, could I do your solution without having to change the intercooler?
the ACC bracket lives in the area I circled in the pic below
Any of us with ACC have to relocate that, you would not. BUT you still have to move the intercooler.... The winch mounts right where the intercooler is currently.questions - I have a '21 Badlands.

The stock intercooler is right in the way of where the winch mounts. It needs to mount up out of the way. The Mishimoto intercooler also has brackets for the ACC relocation. The Wagner Tuning I am running does not.questions - I have a '21 Badlands. I currently have a DV8 bumper on it and have relocated the ACC sensor using the DV8 relo bracket.

I seen earlier where someone asked if this would work with the Raptor and the reply was that mods for the intercooler were being looked into. If there was an update I must have missed it. Any progress on this? I am waiting on a raptor now and hope so.
For some eye candy, here is my 24 with this unit.

Great build. Have you noticed much difference with engine temps since the high mount intercooler is blocking the radiator? Also which high mount intercooler you go with?I seen earlier where someone asked if this would work with the Raptor and the reply was that mods for the intercooler were being looked into.

I’m thinking of pairing the hammer built with Rock Hard 4x4 Aluminum bumper. The bumper is only 28 pounds, which will help offset weight of winch.
With the same set up on an almost identical vehicle, (I do have the 2.7)... and I am using the Mishimoto high mount, I have not seen temps any higher than stock.
Good to know. What I like is you can just use a winch rope extension for those who think the 50 feet isn’t long enough.
I wonder if a different winch would work with this setup that has more options than the Mile Marker winch. Like wireless free spool.

Like 5GENIDN, I too have the Mishimoto high mount (although with the 2.3) and have noticed nothing out of the ordinary with the temp.
The bumper may be a great idea to help counter the slight drop with the front end that I noticed with mine. I do not know what the stock bumper weighs so not sure.
I can say that the drop is not near as much as the ford winch kit. (understandably) The tires actually rub when turning in reverse with it. I have another Hammer built hidden winch kit to replace it. I prefer the hidden/clean look as well.
What I like about the short drum is that I am quickly on the first layer..... That is where you get the full rated pull. Anything in the second or third layer has dramatically less pulling power. I believe there are a couple of others that might fit... I think there is about 17.5 inches in width available...
I am not sure what you mean about "wireless free spool"? As in your free spool lever is electric? My "manual" free spool lever is easy to reach. And I always have the in and out spooling on a switch in my cabin (I mounted it on the dash).... I carry the wired controller but do not really need it if I am in the cab.

I have this and hope to install it this weekend. Someone mentioned a m8x1.25 rivnut tool is needed. Is that still the case? I don't want to start it without the proper tools.
Hammer built with the Mile Marker? I did not need one. I have one and have used it many times... But I did not need it with this instalation.

I needed it for the wagner intercooler install. You can do it without, but the quality of the rivnut install is much better with a rivnut tool. I used the harbor freight special and it worked great.
using the correct drill size for a m8 rivnut is also critical. Don't just use the closest size, get the right bit.
Thant makes sense... I went with the Mishimoto... I will second on the accurate drill bit size for a rivnut.... As an additional note, the Rivenut tool is a great tool to have handy!
