NEW Hammer Built High Clearance Hidden Winch

[IwannaGOfast]

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!

The warrior winch is a little bigger and wouldn't fit this setup. However it would fit (between the tubes) if you are running the Wagner IC as it takes up less space then the Mishimoto IC. It would require a wider winch mount and if you have ACC you would be SOL.

I spoke to warrior awhile back and the control box is removable. That has been my plan all along to build one similar to this that fits the warrior winch.

No bumper modifications at all.... Fit like a glove to the capable. I do not know if your warrior winch would fit.... I think there was about 17 inches in width available. I will say though the Mile Marker winch is a brand new design that I am really impressed with.

I see the mount is now out of stock, what is the estimated wait for the next run? Thanks!

Looks like this bumper might work with the hammer built winch. Bumper Only 28lbs!

What other hidden winch mounts are there? RC and Lobo, and I believe Lobo does not wreck the approach angle

RC is not terrible on approach angle

Thanks for your help! Got my order in and looking forward to receiving it.

Would this work with the @Turn Offroad Hyperlyte Front Bumper & Skid Plate?

It works with the ADD pro bolt on, any aftermarket bumper may require customization of the fairlead bracket.

sending you a pm with more details.

Didn’t read all the posts. How do you get to the winch lever to allow it to free spool? What about attaching the remote so I can move winch in or out?

Free spool lever is easily accessible from the passenger wheel well since the winch is inverted and the lever is at the bottom.

There is a capped plug for the remote that mounts right next to the fairlead BUT there is also a spooling switch that is mounted inside the cab. I mounted mine on the top of the dash right next to my hero buttons.

Thanks buddy. Would you mind posting some pics?

took these just for you....

first is the free spool lever. fairly easy to reach from passenger side wheel well.

second is the wired remote connection... It is the "cap" on the right side of the fairlead.

And then there is the in cab control switch.... I mounted mine on the drivers side of the "hero" switches on the dash.

Thanks appreciate it!

The lever can be accessed by reaching your hand behind the skid plate. One can also drill a hole in the skid plate to access it from the bottom
