Black Diamond winch ?

[Nickhick]

Who has what on your 2.7 black diamond w capable bumper? I'm not a hardcore offroader, mostly logging/mining trails. I love the look of the rough country hidden winch but to my knowledge it doesn't fit on the 2.7 or the steel bumper. The RC reviews aren't the best either. Ford Warn setup is 3k. . Point me in the right direction y'all

Here is the winch thread for the capable bumper.
https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/capable-bumper-winch-options.55093/

I just installed the Rough Country high mount winch on by '22 2.7, Black Diamond, squatch, mid.
Pretty happy with it. I used the Smitty built Gen2 10k winch and relocated the control pack on top of the fuse box in engine bay. Used the Warn cable extensions. I believe it is best option for a high, tight mounted winch. Would love to have a tight bull bar in front of it, but haven't found anything that looks like it would work yet. Install wasn't bad, sorry don't have pics yet but there are some in the thread above.

Here is another thread, I mimicked what BroncoSarge did almost exactly except on the Capable Bumper.

I did the JCR Winch mount plate paired with the Apex Badlands 12k synthetic winch. I think you lose a bit of approach angle with the JCR mount, but it looks good.

So far this is the best looking imo. Not a hardcore offroader but need something IF I get stuck.

Not many options out there right now, but the RC high winch mount is the one to go with if you want it kept as close to the bumper/grille as possible

That's a mod bumper though.

Capable bumper is this:

Good info. Looks are important. Thanks

That looks clean. Which lights do you have in your bumper?

Yea I need to see exactly what works with the capable bumper. I'll do some digging now that I know there are options that aren't god awful looking

Thanks! Those are the M&R Bronco Modular Bumper Fog Lights

Since you say you're not a hard core off roader, you might consider a come along and some snatch blocks. Way less expensive.

Nah. I want to look cool at the mall!

I would have suggested a More Power Puller as it is dead lift rated at 6K/ 12K drag, but I see you've already gone this route
