Stock bumper with hidden winch (details/pics)

[bronco t]

I like it! Great job hiding your winch where bad guys can't see it.

How do you get to the spool control lever?

Hey, how surprised was I to see my Bronco being talked about this morning as I'm eating my Cheerios!

I bought this '66 from Anthony and love it! So despite the "ared77" name I'm really more of "atan66". Wow, now that I see it written out, I better stick with the red77 name..... that looks too much like the devil's user name !

Yeah the winch gets MANY positive comments. That and the awesome roll cage (through the dash) get the most attention. He did a great job on it and many other parts of this build.

To move the lever to pull cable out it's just a matter of opening hood and reaching down to lower corner of radiator. Not bad at all.

Hey norm. Huntington wv here. We are not too far apart

 

[ared77]

Yeah, Crush, I drove through Huntington on my way to pick this up. We met at a truck stop somewhere past Beckly, WV. Maybe we'll see each other sometime at a Bronco event or a car show.

Congrats on the purchase. I am curious... can you post pics of the spool lever and remote solenoid pack that is under the hood. thanks

 

[ared77]

I'll be glad to. Don't have time right now, it's 5:30 am and I've got to go to work in a few minutes. But later today I'll try to learn how to add pics and post some of the winch.

NORM !

I realize there is a cover / skid plate that might hinder doing so.....but when you take pics............I'm interested to know how much clearance there is between bottom of radiator and the winch.

Thank you so much !

 

[ared77]

OK, I've now become a contributor, and taken a few pics. Have to stop again for an hour or two. When I get back I'll try to get the pics on here. If I was about 8 years old I'd have already figured this out by now.

bronco t, hope this helps -

First picture is looking straight down beside radiator at winch release lever.

Same view with finger point!;D

From a different angle -

Rox, I tried. These may help, but may be too poor to see.

I can tell you that it appears to me that the top edge of winch is right at bottom of radiator. I think...without taking it apart it's hard for me to say for certain.

How close is that to the crossmember under the engine?

Thanks Norm. I am inspired to go out in my shop and ponder how to get it done.
