Rough Country Hidden Winch now for Modular Bumper **new photos***

[NorthShoreBronco]

This is looks like if you have a sasquatch 2.3L it will fit no problem?

Yes exactly. I got an early release. It will be availlable very soon.

Here's my install video. 2.3 with Mod Bumper

AWESOME job! Waiting for the 2.7 workaround.

What about the standard bumper?

Does the standard bumper (like what is found on the black diamond) use the same bash plate as the capable bumper on the badlands?

Same bumper ("capable") and skids.

So it’s below the bumper? Does anyone make one that sits behind the bumper?

Not unless you buy an aftermarket bumper. Otherwise I don't think it's possible.

I’m not sure why Ford developed the 250/350 winch so clean yet could not do that for the Bronco. Weird.

They went for as flat a front as they could to mimic the G1 bronco (which is difficult given current safety standards). Plus the active dampers are behind the bumper so don’t want to block with a winch.

Any update on this kit?

Oh yea, it's out for the Modular Bumper now! 2.3 only. They are still working on the 2.7 version.

Really? Where? I never saw it be released or have a link.

EDIT: So it looks like Rough Country pitched the Version 1 design and came out with a design that works for both the modular bumper and the standard bumper? Is that correct? I just ordered a kit today, but curious to if that will be the case or if I should still be waiting?

Any idea on the 2.7 timeline? I'll be the first to purchase once you say go

 

[Petey]

Confirmed. I ordered the latest kit and it works with the standard and modular steel bumper.

@NorthShoreBronco -
Thanks for the video. I’m thinking of buying this winch & mount, but I’m leery of cutting the differential mount. I couldn’t see why it needs to be cut from your video. What does that lip hit? I’m curious if the mount could be modified to clear the lip instead.

I just went out and check mine. It looks like the RC mount actually comes in above the diff mount so you probably would not have to trim it. I did mine before test fitting, it really is only about a 1/4" of steel you remove, but if I had known it would fit I would have left it.

Thank you, that is very helpful.
