I love the portability of the set up. I want to be able to put the winch on the front or back... Would it be possible to do this on my 2016 2.7 Ecoboost?

It has an intercooler, right? As long as there is room in front of it for the mount...

I love it!!!! Timeless pic!!! Tell me too about your winch set up...Looks like you got a killer bumper and guard to pull off the winch. Nice!

Oh and when you need to use the winch, just flip it up outta the way.

I love your set-up. I wish I had the money to buy a winch, Princess Auto has one on sale right now.

So I finally made enough progress on my new front bumper to be able to spend a little time getting my winch mount done and functional. Electrical connections are made with Anderson Power Pole connectors for quick release.
