NEW Hammer Built High Clearance Hidden Winch

[DoYouBronco]

I could easily be wrong but I am going to guess it will fit with no changes.... Same frame... the skid mounts are interchangeable, the bumper is essentially the modular with different end caps... structurally the same in that area. I think the intercoolers are going to fit. Maybe the charge pipes are a different diameter? If the Mishimoto high mount intercooler fits both than this should fit both.

The difference is the intercooler. One of the charge pipes (I believe the hot side) is a dual pipe. So a 2.3/2.7 intercooler isn’t compatible. There’s no raptor intercooler relocation out yet

I am very impressed.... The product is top notch. Fit is perfect. I am figuring a few things out with the wiring.... You do have to disassemble the control box from Mile marker to make it fit. It will be a little easier for people once there are some instructions on that... and I need to put an IP68 connection in the wiring between the control unit and the plug for the hand held.... That plug needs to go through the front side of the fair lead mounting plate and it comes from mile marker with all the electrical soldered in place, and since I might in the future need to drop the bumper (which drops the fairlead mount but leaves the winch and control unit mounted.... I want a water proof quick connect between them.... Very impressed with the structural design. Have not spent any time figuring out where to hook up the LED light yet.... (Quickly buttoned everything up to jump on a flex trailer while it was in town last weekend.... And I am a weekend wrencher.... Too much to do during the work week otherwise I would have it done by now.

I connected the power for the light to the solenoid that interrupts power to the winch. So, when I turn the Auxiliary switch on to power the winch, the light comes on. The solenoid I use is just a 500a continuous duty solenoid from Amazon.

Looks great! How’d install go?

Other than about breaking my nose by dropping the skid plate on my face... went pretty well.

I have had this front skid plate off and back on maybe 10 or 12 times in the last year.... Never a problem.... BUT...

Note to self: When you loosen the back two bolts and then remove the front two to slide it off.... If you accidently bump it with the impact as you are trying to place both the bolt and the impact on the ground so you can grab the skid and slide it forward.... It is possible the skid can slide all on it's own.... LOL...

Back to topic... The install is pretty straight forward and rather simple/easy.

Would love to see an install video! Love the idea of this product!! Mile marker make a winch with a wireless remote?

Sorry I did not do a video.... It would have been way too long since I am old and slow.

Oh... and I do not know if they make a wireless... BUT this is wired to either a remote AND wired to a switch inside the cabin.... I can use either. You also do not have many options as to winches with this set up... Short drum only and I only know of two options this one and the Warn.... There may be others but I do not know what they are.

I have been working with Tyson since early 2019, the dude is legit! I’m definitely planning on ordering one soon!

This definitely looks like a sweet setup! I'm curious if this winch will fit. It seems like it might be an extremely tight fit on the length, and I'm not sure if the mounting holes are in the same spot.

Could be a more costly alternative to the other options currently available though.

I know this is designed to be used with the modular bumper, however it seems like @5GENIDN was able to make it work with the capable bumper with some slight modifications.

I looked at warrior when trying to find compatible winches but decided against it since the control box doesn’t look removable. And yes this winch mount is a confirmed fit with both the modular AND capable bumper!

I got tired of waiting for an IC fix and put the one on I did, but I would be in for this setup someday...
