Main motivation was fact that I'd already stuffed oem ic into a sand dune (on base plastic skid) and was looking at about half the cost of the @Mishimoto kit to go right back to the same tender spot. Skids' upgraded now too but way I see it, even if I never add winch I now have a sort of less...

My concern with this, if i go with short drum, is if I have to donate winchline to reeving, do I have enough to reach the problem? Rope and strap can be used until you get to rigging/block, and a short drum is getting down to 'stronger wraps,' faster, so that's a benefit...but anyone been stuck...

It's a full day affair for weekender skills. After instruction studies, unpacking, layout, and cleanup, I probably had at least another 6hrs actual work in it and did not do acc or camera and still haven't put bumper or skids back

If you're not planning to locate any of the winch past the back of the frame pads (press-formed flares), you're well clear of the piping. Good plan, now I'm thinking of bringing forward too. Lot's of winches seem to get a bit wider toward the center, could maybe still cheat some past the back...

Almost back together here. Leaving bumper and arb skids off for moment until i finish untweaking the trans cooler and bit more research for new recovery points and winch tray. There is about 17-1/2" clear between the passenger side 90° elbow flange and end tank on driver side (no flange)...

Look much better than oem and for $169...but I still see myself using the quick removal feature of oem for wheeling tight rock garden, etc...someday...

I see most of your fans seem pretty affordable, then looking up the oem fan, MB3Z8C607A is >$500 (1 of 2) Not saying price equals performance but can you refer any specific models that are known to be actual upgrades? Specs on the Ford fans seem scarce (admittedly haven't looked for data plate...

@Mishimoto I'm m confused, was @Razorback asking about 2.7 _down pipes_ or the 2.7 high mount kit? Or what are you referring to in the portion i quoted here? Didn't I just (fingers-crossed-for-first-run) pre-order the 2.7L high mount kit?

2.7 is live, check links, I just (pre)ordered

Order placed Sure hope i make first run/ please have mercy on my dumb sending of the OEM IC into the sand...still holding boost...for now...

First of all, thank you for the detailed, no bs response! Had I known nothing about this I'd would have known what to do next. Anyway have pulled bumper few times already with biff i made a few weeks ago on a dune. Similar to you, have since ordered and received and began fitting arb skid set...

Greatly appreciate this post. Debating whether to do this or fab some with a bit thinner backing plate (I have perfect resource to both fab and load test) Questions: 1. Did you have to trim any metal from the bumper reinforcement or just the plastic part? 2. Did you think to try to sandwich...

Congrats

Two recovery hooks on left rear would harm OP even further

How many miles? No major issues?

BB 2.7 SAS w/ (properly broken-in) Ford performance tune Searched 'downshift' and 'hard shift' and neither returned anything familiar... When slowing to low speed (5-10mph) then accelerating lightly or sometimes when slowing to a stop or accelerating lightly from a stop (ie when the drivetrain...

Cool clickbait story bruh

You can't beat the COVERED WAGON!

Yeah, still learning how to properly send it 😅 So 6 pulls, presumably with fans blowing whatever shop ambient air temp at it. Seems insufficient; domestic OEMs spend big $ testing prototypes in death valley. Not saying that's what I expect Mishimoto to do, but wondering if they tweaked anything...
