With the installation on my ON3 intercooler finally giving me room to mount a winch behind the stock bumper like the NonEcoboost guys. I'm researching options.


Is there anything out there to mount the winch behind the factory bumper other than the Rough Country 1010 kit (like FreakoBoost has)?


I'm leaning to a good quality Warn winch. With the money this has cost I'm hesitant about using the Chinese made stuff. I use my winch around the place regularly. The Warn 8724 on my old FJ40 is still going strong but it won't fit for sure!


Any comments, tips, ideas, or good deals. Please let me know. I'll post pics as it comes together.

 

Why not the Rough Country hidden winch mount? Mine was easy to install and has worked very well in my 2011 with a Warn winch.

 

I used the Rough Country hidden mount and a 12000lb Badlands winch from Harbor Freight, has a ton of good reviews from others as well as Off-Road magazine endorsement. For the price it's worth a try.

There winches get good reviews on atv as well.

 

I got the Engo EPF10000S. Really like it so far

Thanks for the post and the pics, thats the same setup I want to run, but I was worried the 12k winch wouldn't fit. Did your front end sag any with the extra weight?

 

None that I can tell.
