You have to be able to get to the winch release handle to free spool. Is that the 4600 Bronco? Very likely they are using a Gigglepin winch, from Europe, that has a VERY fast spool speed, and a solenoid controlled free spool, so no need to get to the winch. I like that, still waiting to see that truck in person. Will go over it carefully the 1st week of Feb.
This company has had a page showing a winch-in-bumper option, but theres no details and it hasnt updated in forever (they aer prob waiting on thier bronco like the rest of us)

I’m anxiously awaiting everything RR is claiming they’ll produce. Now with news of the exorbitant Warn/Ford that’s not compatible with BD…I’m banking on this offering.

This started life as the stock modular bumper but somehow they hid a Warn winch (one of the sponsors) behind the intercooler above the skid plate. I don't know what special other changes were involved, but at least we know it's possible.

Thats exciting!This started life as the stock modular bumper but somehow they hid a Warn winch (one of the sponsors) behind the intercooler above the skid plate. I don't know what special other changes were involved, but at least we know it's possible.
As it turns out, it is trivial to make a hidden mount if you cut off the unused frame tabs and shift the intercooler slightly. RoughCountry has a cheap hidden mounting kit, but currently only for the plastic bumper. Hopefully we'll see some options soon for the modular bumper.Does anyone know if any companies are planning on doing something like this?
RoughCountry instructions:
Weird it doesn't have four doors!! I wonder why??
OIC... Its a Bronco!!
Not a bus.

That’s definitely good news!As it turns out, it is trivial to make a hidden mount if you cut off the unused frame tabs and shift the intercooler slightly.

RoughCountry instructions:
Hidden winch + cylinder = cannot reach free spool lever and you need to make a custom tool to turn it on a 4 cylinder.
Just remote mount the winch controller
