Are they a vendor on this board? I've been trying to swap out my hidden winch mount that a buddy got me which is for the standard bumper, but then RC came out with the one for the modular bumper so I want to try and exchange mine. Can't get a hold of them via phone or email.

LOL I just got them on the phone and they said since it's been 90 days I need to sell mine private party and order a new one.... yeah let me just find someone wanting to put a winch on a standard bumper real quick.

I just got a Rough Country hidden winch plate on my 22 Outer Banks 2.7 with LUX package. It does not interfere with any of the sensors, and took about 5 hours for a local shop to do the work. The only thing I can't figure out is how to access the switch on the winch for freespool.

Also added a 2" Ready Lift and 295/70/18's Falken Wildpeaks on the standard rims.

Copied from another post may or may not work for the 2.7 but super simple:

Go to 3:20 into NorthShoreBronco’s 2.3 Hidden Winch video for his solution

I've seen a few others on here where they extended the handle.

Thank you, I saw that video from North Shore. I wish that would work, but with the 2.7, there isn't room, you can't even see the switch at all. I am going to see if I might be able to rig something up with a cable of some sort.

I’m looking at the RC Hidden Winch as well because it looks so clean! But am having the same concerns. Please keep us updated.

Have you figured out how to access the switch yet?

Not yet, I called RC, and they basically confirmed that the only option is to power in and out. Not such a big deal, because it is for emergency use and I don't anticipate that a few extra minutes to power out is going to affect the situation much. I haven't had time to take off the skid plate yet to see if a push/pull type of cable set up would work. I don't see any reason it wouldn't, just needs some time and creativity to figure it out. Right now it is low on the priority list.

Anyone looking for one in Southern California, I decided to go a different route and have mine for sale for $300. Still in the box.
