NEW Hidden Winch Option – Highest Clearance Setup Available!

Hey Bronco6G!

After seeing countless different winch set ups on trails throughout the country, we noticed that there were too many tradeoffs for our liking. Winches mounted in front take away approach angle, restrict intercooler airflow, expose the winch to the elements, and not to mention disrupt the clean lines of the bronco.

We first tested a skid plate-mounted winch, similar to what we see on other hidden winches, but after just one trip, we realized the skid plate scrapes constantly and wasn’t ideal for our level of wheeling. That’s when we took a closer look at 4600 class King of the Hammers Broncos and noticed they were running short-drum competition winches. They were mounted much higher than a skid plate mounted winch. We thought about how to make that option available without crazy custom work. After extensive research, we landed on what we believe is the best option, the 10,000lb Mile Marker TM10K competition winch.

From there, we set out to engineer the highest clearance hidden winch kit available, all while ensuring zero drilling or cutting was required. After extensive testing including real-world abuse during United by Bronco last week, we are proud to release the ultimate hidden winch solution!


The Hammer Built Hidden Winch

By pairing a relocated intercooler from Wagner or Mishimoto with the Mile Marker winch, we’ve created the highest clearance hidden winch setup available for purchase. This design tucks the winch between the intercooler tubes and frame rails, keeping it completely out of the mud and water while retaining your factory approach angle. Plus, with the high-mount intercooler, you’re not just adding a winch, you’re gaining a performance boost too! Think of it as knocking out two birds with one stone.

The mount is designed around the OEM bumpers, but thanks to the separate fairlead bracket, it should also work with most aftermarket bumpers that have a similar ACC/OEM Intercooler opening. You can see on the gray Bronco, we made it fit with the ADD Pro bolt-on bumper.


Preorders Are Open!

We’ve ordered supplies for 8 kits and have 3 spots left. Preorder pricing for the mount is $450, with a $1000 deposit securing your order and purchasing the Wagner intercooler. The remaining balance will be due on shipping. First batch ships next week!


Key Features:

CNC cut/bent 1/4” steel mount with separate fairlead bracket

Mile Marker short drum 10K lb winch

Wagner or Mishimoto High-Mount Intercooler*

Accessible free spool lever

Optional Integrated LED light to observe the line/spool

Remote plug integrated into the fairlead mount for easy operation

Entire package only adds 100lbs of extra weight in the front, so no need for heavier coil springs

No cutting required for OEM bumpers*

Got questions? Drop a comment or send me a DM to grab one of the last spots!

*Mishimoto intercooler required for Broncos equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control module

* Aftermarket bumpers may require modification for fairlead mounting or winch line clearance

What is the maximum width of the winch (between side plates) with this mount? some of us might want other options the the Mile Marker.

I was thinking that as well until I looked up this particular one... different than most of the Mile Markers... Non-hydraulic with fast (for Mile Marker) spooling. I am going to give it a try.

If you run the Mishimoto high mount a Warn RC winch will fit between the tubes, it's 17 inches.

I think it is somewhere around 17.5" I used the Warn 9.0RC on my setup in the similar location. From what I have found the TM10K and the 9.0RC are the two name brand winches that fit.

Yep that's the one I had in mind....superior to the mile marker in my opinion

Are you saying that the 9.0 RC fits on this new hammerbuilt winch mount? Has anybody tried this?

It was my plan until my place of employment decided to close the doors after 23 years.


I ended up with a big ole fashion winch in there.

I like being able to control the winch wireless with Warn app. works on Broncos main screen with app downloaded to carlink black box. then winch controller is bronco mainscreen.

I just wired in a Harbor Freight Badlands controller to a plug for the Warn. Works just like it should. And cheap to replace if it breaks.

Mile Marker has a in cabin in and out toggle that come with it as well as the wired hand held. I thought it said something about wireless but I like the in cabin toggle. I am old, I know.

Yes BUT... this mount actually has vertical members between the tubes so the space inside those would be even less... May still fit but until I receive mine I will not know the width. I will measure when I have it in hand.

Mile Marker does have a universal wireless adapter, but I didn’t go that route.

WOW! A week ago Hammer built told me they thought the mount and winch would ship Friday (today) or Monday.... Just got word it shipped! I am impressed... Timeline was exact!
