  • I chose to install a hidden winch mount in my GX470 to keep the weight down. I also chose a wireless winch controller with a synthetic rope.

    We are hopefully picking up our GX this weekend if all goes well. Can you install any winch and hide it or does it have to be a specific style

    Do you have a link for where you got the winch holder bracket? Seems like a pretty easy install/mod.

    Nice job keeping the build basic and trail worthy. Do you have guesstimate weight of the hidden winch mount? I'm just trying to figure out how much weight the mount and the winch will add to the front.

      I ordered it from roof top overland. I think it is made by lfd off road.

    It's funny how similar your build is to mine. Could you share the product links to the components you chose to go with?
    Also, I just picked up a rare oem bumper guard (they were a catalog option and are pretty ugly) that I'm going to modify and paint, to cover the hidden winch outlet completely, to keep it 100% stealth.

      I used the roof top overland winch mount with a 10k x20 winch amzn.to/2ZjA6fF

      @@ZentRose That's the one I was looking at. I just installed the Apex recovery points, so I needed something that was going to work with them.

    That’s pretty cool I don’t know if I want to do this or get the metal bumper. I like the look of both.

    Nice! I want a hidden winch on my f150 ecoboost but the intercooler is in the way. Move this to move that, relocate all the things!!!!

      I put it right on top. It had barely enough clearance

    This hidden mount looks great. Is the mount bolt directly to the frame with existing bolts and not extra brackets? or LFD provide you with new stronger bolts?

    • @ZentRose
      @ZentRose  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Existing nuts on the bumper support (connects direct to the frame. The mount is very solid.

    That's so clean looking. You could hide it all if you took the hood off with a license plate. Super clean and nice to not have a huge bumper for it.
