The winch skid plate and bumper are both being put into production next week, now that we have finalized/ verified the prototypes this week. They both should be released at the same time.
Hello, Im not sure if you have come across our post on our development of a winch skid that we are developing, that works with the modular bumper and our HNT series bumper. If not a solution, hopefully helps with a direction on your project. Attached is a link the post...
Hey guys we are finished with R&D on both of our front skid plates, and since we haven't shown photos of the HNT Aluminum Front Skid Plate yet, we'll take a closer look at it in this post. Note that we have a non-binding waiting list for these on our website, if you want to claim a spot in the...
The only action that would need to take place, to install the winch skid with the modular bumper, is minor trimming to the plastic flap/ shroud for the intercooler. it does not interfere with the section that the ACC is located. Just the bottom of the shroud where it meets the bottom of the bumper.
Both the HNT Hidden Winch Skid Plate and the HNT Front Bumper have been given their final tweaks and we should be done with our second round of prototyping soon. We'll share pics when we're done and mounting everything up, but here's a screenshot out of SolidWorks to show how they're looking as...
In the process of the design. But nothing worth showing yet. It will be very similar to the HNT non winch bumper, but obviously with proper clearance for the winch and transition of body line to accommodate. Hope that gives you a picture of the direction we are going for. Plan to have CAD...
The hole within the winch skid is large, but would highly recommend a fairlead, as the edge of the skid plate is sharp. Other Fairleads will work, I just designed this one to flow with the approach angle of the skid plate etc.
Mechanically, the winch skid plate will work on both the 2.3 and 2.7 currently, however the heat exchanger on the 2.7 needs to be relocated. We are working on a solution now.
Thanks everyone for your interest so far! The feedback both here and on our socials has been great. For anyone who would like to get on an interest list for this or any of the products we're working on, we've set up "Wait Lists" for each of them, on our website. Just go to the product page for...
The plan of attack at the moment is to put the front bumper, aluminum skid, and winch skid into production. Fallowing that we will be moving onto rear bumper, and sliders. With a couple smaller intricate items in between.
I have notice many people complaining about bent tailgate doors. A tire...
With how tight the package is, you will not easily be able to reach the lever. You will need to extract the cable by reversing the drum or upgrade to the platinum.
Here are a couple pictures of the winch in the skid and the intercooler/ front of the skidplate mounts. We are in the process of making a couple changes in order to move onto production, as well as coming up with a bracket to make this kit usable with the 2.7LTR package!!!!
I plan on waiting on collecting anything until parts are on the shelf and ready to ship. With that being said, a pre order list will be put in place shortly. I will keep you guys updated on when we have something in place. The winch skid is currently 3/16 (industry standard) and is tied into the...
Thank you for the positive feedback. We are going to do what we can and accommodate to what we can with the resources we have.
From the data that we collected, it seems a lot of people are fond of the modular bumper like your self. With that being said we spent much of our time accommodating...
