Superwinch Hidden Winch Mount for Bronco

[GI_Jo_Nathan]

That looks like a sweet setup. And the price. I like it. It is a pretty straightforward install. Doable with instructions, just YT take my Bronco apart. They are being "green" by not printing them. I see it happening more and more in today's world.

Yeah for real. Lol I think they are working on a video.
Biggest pain was figuring out the spacing, and installing rivnuts. Then deleting the shutters.

Wanted to share this since I haven’t heard it discussed on here. I will probably be replacing my RC hidden winch skid plate soon and this looks like a good option.

I spoke with them on the phone and they said it does not work with the modular bumper, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t.

3 months too late for me. I would have gone with this just for the hole to access the clutch handle, but I installed my SX10SR on the Lobo HNT skid back in May.

Is there any way to access the clutch on the lobo?

No, I clocked my gearbox 90° before I installed it hoping that it would make it easier to access, but that created an interference with the handle, so I just removed it. I need to pull it down and clock it back to normal, and install an extension up into the engine bay, but haven't had time to tackle that yet. I just have to power out the line for now.

Who needs shutters.

The Bronco Equipment Installation Guide indicates that putting something in between the d-ring mounts could be a high risk for "potential engine erratic behavior due to increased charge air temps." I often wonder if the companies that make these add-ons do air temp tests.

I like my BAMF winch bumper. It was not a difficult install and i relocated Warn controller under the hood. No erratic engine operation on my 2.7. I live in FL air temps are 90-100. IC in stock location.

IC relocation is the best way to go if you want to tuck that winch in there and not hurt your approach angle.

Here is my take on the whole IC thing. OEM IC is ok on the 2.3. Same IC for the 2.7. I would think the 2.7s IC should be bigger. So, in my eyes the 2.7 benefits more from the upgraded IC. The 2.3 will still gain though just not as much. I did not compare (2.3 vs 2.7) dyno numbers from Mishimoto, just the way I see it. OEM setup is below cooling fans. If you are not moving, no air is going through the IC. This creates higher discharge temps. Slow trails would elevate the air temps going into the engine. With the high mount it is now, at least, in the cooling fan flow. Side note: I have not seen elevated coolant temps with the IC up there. Slow trails should now see cooler air charge temps. It is not much but I'm sure it helps. Putting the IC up there also helps to put the winch where it should be, between the frame rails. Not on top of the bumper. Not stuck 2 feet out in front of the bumper. Just my 2 cents.

Without question the best winch setup I’ve seen. Wow.

They stole my clutch access idea
