Lowest Profile 2.7L Winch Bumper/Mount?

[akturbo]

What's everyone's opinion on the lowest profile, sleekest, stealthiest, slickest winch bumper out there for the 2.7? Running the RC High Mount and Warn Evo 12s, looking to clean up the front end and not have a buck toothed or underbite looking Bronco. I've looked at EVERY option out there that I can find, a couple stand out but I don't have a way to see them IRL.

You have to build it….and it takes a high mount intercooler and a short drum winch….

Evo 10s (standard drum) fits with room to spare if you take the decorative motor casing off and trim the shutter tabs.

(Mine still in development)

I wasn’t happy with mine sitting out that far. I actually pushed it back between the intercooler downpipes….even the short drum is tight back that far…

Lobo HNT doesn't look too bad

Thanks! Looks like their WNC has the winch mount and my Warn Evo 12k will fit! I don't know how I missed this bumper.

Shouldn't I be worried about blocking the cooler? I have ACC, can that be disabled and removed?

Yeah just do a forum search on Lobo. They have many threads on here. They have the lowest profile by far of anything on the market. My only lament is that they’re not planning anything for a BRaptor.

Hello, Attached is the forum for our WNC bumper, Within the post you are able to see in depth the structure that is designed to adequately support the winch and D rings. Also attached is a link to the website, where you may see a handful of other pictures, including the camera view and side view. The two pictures most manufactures try to avoid. From the center of the valance under the grill to the center front face of the bumper it is UNDER 4.00". ONLY 1" forward compared to the factory modular bumper.

Hello Mike, I'm not sure why you are under the impression that I am not doing anything for the raptor bronco. My bumpers will go directly on a raptor bronco, as many customers have already installed. However the skid plate mounting is slightly different. I will be manufacturing raptor bronco specific skid plates. A friend dropped off a raptor bronco this morning, for myself to scan and start designing the raptor bronco product line.

I am kinda partial to my RC hidden winch mount. It's fully approved by my local mall.

As you can see, plenty of approach angle for the most serious mall situations.

Thanks, Chris! I read the thread, looks great! I'll be keeping an eye out for Black Friday deals.

Unfortunately, with the of manufacturing the bumpers, all bumper prices are going up tomorrow.

Blocking the cooler is a real thing:

That's lame, good to know. I already have the RC mount, 12k Warn, TrickyDick frame braces so I'm not a huge rush to buy today.

Thanks @broncorik ! I have the Ford tune and actually wheel my Bronco, this is a concern of mine.

yes, it’s unfortunate,I tried to keep them down as much as I could, but it also needs to makes sense.
