Some quick shots...

What's the front camera view with this build? Does anything obstruct the view of the front camera? Can you post a few pics?

Hey! This is actually something that's in the works! At the moment, we're currently in search of a Raptor donor in the PA area. If that applies to you or anybody you know, please shoot us a message!

Awesome! Unfortunately I'm a bit far from you guys.

Here you go! I actually like it. Right between those 2 center Rigid’s is dead balls center of the trail. I use that gap as a sight when I'm going uphill and can't see the ground for the hood.

Thank you, that give me some perspective of what to expect. I currently have RC High winch mount and thinking about switching to this type of mount.

I mean, if you don't plan on having lights on your bumper like I do, you won't see anything at all in your camera in the way of obstruction. The winch literally sits inside the frame of the car, not outside of it. To you, looking through your front camera, it will appear as it does when the vehicle is stock from the dealership.

I'm assuming you know that, just making sure.

Oh yeah, I figured that is what the view should be, like right off the showroom floor.

Yeah if you have the cash laying around, this set up has to be the optimal solution for the Bronco6g as far as winches go.

Handy device-

Just watched the video. Brilliant. Thanks!

Boom.

Boom.

Nice! Now you can cut your 100’ winch line down to 50’ and make it longer for two part pulls! (25’ two part line + 50’ extension)

So many possibilities!

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

I need this in my life! Are the pre-order kits still available?

Yes, the pricing on the site is $699 not the $450 on OP's post

Ah...gotcha. I don't think they're doing pre-orders anymore. This set up has been in production for several months and they've had to restock a few times.

The pre-order was March of last year. The pricing on the site is current.
