Weekend Project : New Havoc Bumper, Badland Apex winch, lights etc..

[Omdiaz01]

This past weekend I installed a new winch capable bumper, winch and lights. Project took about 8 hours, spending more time on electronics (I have LUX package), but it came out great. Need to test it on the trail.

These are the items I installed:

1. HAVOC OFFROAD STEEL BENDER FRONT WINCH BUMPER - Note: Havoc, if you are reading this, your product is great, the instructions are not....take time to post an install video.
2. HAVOC OFFROAD 20" SINGLE ROW LIGHT BAR WITH DRL. I am able to switch from clear to yellow with the same aux switch. Excellent functionality
3. DV8 2021-2023 FORD BRONCO | FRONT CAMERA RELOCATION BRACKET - the kit comes with all items needed, with plenty of length on the hose and cable.
4. Badland Apex 12k Winch - Cant beat the price....

Shoot me a message if you have an specific install question.

Omdiaz01 Excellent job and a great post Love what you have done! I also have a Lux Badlands, and while I ultimately want a winch, keeping the front camera, sensors and radar were essential considerations. Also important are keeping a good approach angle and of course, how it looks. Nothing I had found yet fulfilled my wish list until now. I think you nailed it!

I also love the integrated light bar and the fact that it toggles between amber and white lights. Wow!

One question. . .How does the front camera function in the relocated position? Specifically, does the 360' overhead view still function as well as the Rock Crawl mode forward view.

@Eastmort : Yes, the camera function in the relocated position maintained the full 360 overhead view. Later today/tomorrow, I will take a picture of screen showing the 360 overhead , 4L view, and will post to this thread.

question.

Any suspension modification to account for added front end weight ? How does it ride? Sag?

It rides exactly the same it did before. I did not noticed any sag. The bumper doesn't weight more than the OEM FORD modular bumper I had before and the winch only weighs around 70 lbs.

Looking good my friend! I’ve earmarked the Steel Bender non-winch bumper for my build. Can’t wait to get on your level

@Eastmort The two pictures below are the normal 360 view and in Rock Crawl (4L) mode with the new DV8 camera relocation setup.

[Dimitar]

Great job, looks great! Very beefy. Can you relocate that camera anywhere? Right below the bull bar would be ideal I think.

 

[Omdiaz01]

@Dimitar I was just having that discussion with a friend today ...he is concerned about the camera location , particularly if a recovery requires the line to pull right over the camera. the DV8 kit came with various options to mount. I will try under the bull bar . Thank you
