Pics of your front bumper and winch set up

[telenerd]

Howdy,

Still haven’t purchased a winch bumper yet. Most of the options seem to ruin approach angles and I don’t see how some people actually wheel some of these bumpers and not bash in their fairleads, sensors, and winch hooks.

What is the best solution here? The only solution I see is the hammer built hidden winch but you have a lot drawbacks with shorter rope length, pain in ass for spooling in the rope, accessing the clutch, limited winch options, having to install high mount intercooler, list goes on. The other solution but not great is a high mount winch, then you got deal with relocating stuff, and reduced cooling capacity. Ugg.

Certainly couldn’t do this with our old setup…

Even though my bumper and winch may "look" like it would hamper approach angles, I assure you it does not. With enough lift and 37's, you drastically improve the factory approach angles. I even have lights mounted forward and below my winch that clear the obstacle seen in the video below.

buckleupoffroad.com winch mount, Warn Evo 12 K winch. No interference with ACC and parking sensors.

Metal Tech 4x4 Stronghold winch mount.
Best on the market IMHO.
Make sure to get the frame horn reinforcements.

Warn Zeon 10s winch & baja designs light bar.
Had to relocate ACC in to the grill. JCR camera relocation kit. TURN has the same one.
Doesn’t affect approach angle.
No cooling issues, we live in Vegas.

Open road winch, RC high mount and capable bumper...

Ford Performance kit. Probably the cheapest option for a Warn setup. Also got an Ultrahook. I got the Eibach adjustable shocks to compensate for the added weight.

Curious about your license plate mount.

I like how you set it up compared to the Amazon pics so it must have a lot of adjustments.
