Winch for OEM HD Modular Bumper

I can only guess this is a topic that many of us have searched online - as I have done a few times already. But I cannot get a straight answer, as many of the links I see for options are expired or not active. So, as the subject line suggests, what options are best for a winch that can be added to the HD Modular Bumper?

Just a quick update… I installed the RC Hidden Winch (51058|PRO9500S * 9500-Lb Pro Series Winch | Synthetic Rope). The install was not all that bad for my 2.3L, with the biggest challenge being the missing spacers for the intercooler; just used some nylon spacers I found at Ace Hardware. Can say that I did have someone help a bit with the pre-assembly and getting it situated under the vehicle, which was a huge time saver. The entire install took about 3.5 hours, which included the trip to the hardware store :slight_smile: I also suggest getting an extra set of bolts for the skid plate - the ones they say are provided do not look to be a high grade.

On a side note, I did reach out to Rough Country regarding the missing parts, and they were quick to send replacements. But I had already completed the install.

Nice clean install! Make sure to pull some line before you go into any deep so you don’t have to scuba to your winch hook :diving_mask:
