Rough Country's Hidden Winch Mount gives your 2021-2026 Bronco a clean, stealthy recovery setup that tucks behind the factory bumper line. The mount works with the factory modular bumper, standard plastic bumpers, and Rough Country's own front bumper lineup, so there is no need to swap your entire front end to gain winch capability.
Built from serious-gauge steel. The main tray uses 7-gauge material and features a bolt-together design that simplifies installation and allows for disassembly when needed. The skid plate runs 11-gauge thick and covers the underbelly without blocking airflow to the intercooler, so your engine stays cool on the trail.
Designed around the Rough Country winch ecosystem. The standard 4.5-inch by 10-inch four-bolt winch mount pattern fits most winches rated up to 12,000 lbs. Rough Country highly recommends pairing this mount with their RS9500S or RS12000S winches running synthetic rope and a Hawse fairlead. The fairlead recesses directly into the skid plate for a clean rope-angle pass-through, and the solenoid box is removable with a relocation bracket included for V6 models.
Sensor and accessory compatibility preserved. The mount does not interfere with proximity sensors or cruise control hardware. It also works with Rough Country tow hook brackets, keeping your recovery and towing options intact after installation.
