I did it in my garage on the floor. I did use a floor jack to lift and hold the winch and bracket while I bolted it to the frame.
I was able to cut it off with a sawzall.
I went with a trailrax last year. We camped a few time and then had a 10 day 3500 mile trip. The RTT was on the bronco all summer/fall with no issues. The 5 of use were able to sleep up top with now issues. Our kids tho were ages 2, 4, and 6. The rack itself has held up well. We live in the...
Last year we loaded up the Bronco and went on a 10 day 3000+ mile trip. As you can see once we got everyone and everything the rear was sagging quite a bit. Im wanting to see who has done either swap and what they think about it.

Have you looked into lobo hidden winch? I was short on money with everything else I had to buy for this trip, but if I wasn’t on a deadline I would have bought that one for sure. It’s a US company that makes it all I house. Solid design and has a better approach angle than the factory skid plate.
I think it’s sticks out more than stock, I wanted todo a Lobo hidden winch kit, but my budget was tight before the trip I’m taking this month. When this one breaks or the paint starts to fail I’ll be sure to go with the lobo.
I just installed the rough county hidden winch on my v6 Bronco with the capable bumper. 0 problems and didn’t have to force anything or cut anything to make it fit. I didn’t even need the included spacers. Did I miss something or why does Rough Country say it won’t work on Broncos with the...
