I would absolutely love the idea of only installing a winch when I'm heading on a trip.

I can't see this being any less capable than any of the aftermarket trays out until now, especially coupled with some frame horn support, but have you done any stress testing you can show for this?

Hi there!

Yes, we have done stress testing. We will be releasing more info soon.

I guess the wildcard here is whether it's easy enough to reset your suspension without the kit. I like the idea, but that could be a bear or not possible considering the rig setup.

I don't know, it looks like it may be a fairly light mount, I don't really notice the suspension compressing much on my set up, it's never been an issue!

I would most certainly want some frame horn reinfocements with a kit like this. Otherwise it makes sense.

With an evo mounted it weighs 124lbs... thats no small amount of weight to be swinging on and off.

I wish you had released this sooner because I was looking for something exactly like this about a year ago!
I didn't want to be driving around all the time with a winch hanging off the front of my bumper when I really only need it a couple times a year.
I ended up going with the HNT winch skid instead, so at least it's tucked out of the way.

When you all post more info include the visuals on front camera views. How long is the red lead out cable? Also, activate the installation PDF.

That looks really good!! Been wanting a winch but have always loved the clean look of the Bronco front end and didn't want to "mess" it up. This really solves that problem.

This may be a tough question but would there be any fitment issues with the JCR small push bar? Looks like it would fit.

From pics on your site it looks like you have a similar bar and I can see the winch mount.

This is something I'd be interested in. Mine is a daily and I really don't off road any more. I might at some point...it would be nice for that. I have and will continue to do relief work in Western NC and other places. Having a winch would be a nice extra to have if we have to clear trees or pull something out of the way. The whole point of something like this is to drop it on when you need it and otherwise leave the weight penalty at home.

Very interested. Looking forward to seeing a 3rd party review or two.
