This is the only way to go!

I like it, I think. Can you post a video of the winch deploying and winching back in (under load)

I will try and do this at the next event.

Looks good. I especially like the air free spool. Winch challenge rigs use air activated free spool on their 'built' Warn 8472's

I do prefer the functionality of a full winch bumper but for a subtle /theft resistant unit it looks like it fits the bill nicely.

Thank you

What kind of price for a package like this?

The tray is $440 and the Viper is $2800

 

[Fivespddisco]

I really like that idea.

It's simple yet effective like all the best ideas are.
How long before you use it in anger?

Thank you. I will try and only use it for good.

Very interesting. Are you guys selling these winches , if so what do they go for? I love the idea of hitting a button the free spool and that line speed is impressive. Would also like to see a video of it working under load

Yes we do sell them. Here is a link to all the Red winch toys. Ill get a video.

Looks fantastic! Would this install still work with a LR non-winch a-frame?

Thank you for the kind words. What tray are you asking about.

The terrafirma tray, but if not what would work? I know I have seen some hidden winch with aframe on disco3.co, but wasn't sure if it was available in the usa.

Ouch! I was not prepared for that! It is pretty cool, but I'm afraid I'll have to continue fighting to reach the clutch through my ARB bumper at that price. Still happy to see anything being done with these rigs all the same, so keep up the good work.

Wow! You really got to want one of those!

The Terrafirma tray will not interfere with the A bar. The extra holes in the bumper cover is were the A bar bolts to.

It is not cheap not at all But I do use it a lot.

Great install write up! Im seriously considering this, but it looks to be a little more complicated for me. the A-bar bolts to the bumper cross bar you removed.

So, the hidden winch needs to have the brackets to bolt the a-bar to. I think some do, but it doesnt look like the Terrafirma tray does. I think maybe the Devon 4x4 tray does - Do you still carry that one too?

WOW!! Good eye. Devon is no longer selling into the states and their mount will not work for you either.
IF I had your truck in the shop we would weld a bracket or cut the stock bumper bar and attach it to the Terrafirma tray.
