That was my thought as well, always had a winch permanently pointed on my Jeeps, but there just isn’t a clean enough (for me) option, I really love the way my Bronco looks and having a winch on all the time takes away from it.

Got it all mounted up and wired today, you have to split the positive and negative cables to use the quick connect kit. You could also buy more cable if you want it longer, I found that a cheap wallet multitool worked well for stripping the wire. Pulled the line out and re-spooled it, tested the...

Another member posted about this hack, so not my idea, but it works well and is very cheap! https://www.lowes.com/pd/Spectra-6IN-x-3FT-ARMOUR-GUARD-SCREEN-WHT/5015749931 Just get two and then cut them down to size, helps keep bugs out.

If you are willing to travel…. https://www.bobrohrmanschaumburgford.com/new-Schaumburg-2025-Ford-Bronco-Raptor-1FMEE0RR7SLB46059 I had the same thoughts when I started looking for mine back in the spring, I was not going to pay 100K for one no matter how nice it was. I also wasn’t going to...

I also searched the owners manual, for the 25 model year the diagrams were removed and I believe it points you to the dealership. It basically seemed as though Ford didn’t want folks doing the wiring of anything themselves.

I did not paint them, I will be keeping an eye on them and if needed I will take them off and paint them. Luckily it is a pretty easy install now that the holes were drilled out, so removing the bumper and taking them off should take less then an hour if I need to.

Unfortunately, I do not believe ball joints are covered once you install a lift (of any type) as it accelerates the wear on those components. I have always planned for replacing ball joints earlier once I have lifted my Jeeps previously.

I have it mounted on the modular bumper that came on my Bronco Raptor, I believe it does work for both the capable and modular bumpers.

Not sure about the 16 heavy duty steel frame reinforcements in that kit, @Maximus-3 does sell the frame horn reinforcement kit which I did install. It is 2 plates (inner and outer) per side which are behind the bumper, it added 2 M12 bolts (1 per plate) and then the 3 front tow mount bolts...

Yes it is pricey, I got. It on sale at Labor Day so it was a little cheaper. I considered all the relocating of things to add a winch to the front permanently and did not like the options for the price. Plus I really like the front end as it comes, so I didn’t want to ugly it up. For the money...

Yes, they have a battery quick connect kit that allows for it to be attached and detached cleanly. I will add pictures of the winch and connect kit when I get the installed next week.

In all my time wheeling, I have only had to winch myself 3 times, all out of thick mud. I have used it to winch others more during trips, I don’t do a lot of hardcore rock crawling, but I do go out exploring solo occasionally, so having a winch is needed as a safety measure.

I used a 12.3mm drill bit (31/64 I think), it is a bit for drilling metal from Harbor Freight, just the two outside holes needed to be drilled. The inner frame horn reinforcement bracket bolt went right in. I did use smaller bits to start with, just the 2 sizes down so that it was easier to...

Openroad Panther 3S 13.5K, going to give it a try and see how it works.

I took the time today to install the @Maximus-3 winch mount saddle with the frame horn reinforcements. The directions that came with the setup are very easy to follow, the only issue I ran into was drilling out the outside holes for the frame horn reinforcements, which was a my drill issue. Now...

I am doing the Maximus-3 removable winch kit for my Bronco Raptor, it is currently sitting in my garage waiting for me to get started. Probably Sunday or Monday I will get it started, I will make a post about it when I get it done.

Nicely done, you won’t be disappointed!

There is going to be wind noise, especially when it is a soft enclosed tent. How far does it hang in the back?

Love mine in Marsh Gray.

I have the Morrflate 4 tire inflation system, the digital air hub wasn’t out yet, and it is well worth it. Because I already have my setup, I do not see a reason to upgrade to this, but if it was out when I was buying I would have purchased it.
