Some
owners of the new aggressively styled vehicles want the benefits
of a Warn winch, but don't want to change the lines of their vehicle.
So Warn engineers have created a semi-hidden mounting system that
mounts the winch using factory frame holes and retains the OE bumber.
The system for the Ford Super Duty and Excursion will handle the
M12000. The bumper moves out a slight 5 inches and ABS trim is applied
to accentuate the factory lines. (not included) This material can be painted to
match the vehicle color to the vehicle color or left its natural
matte black. Access to the winch controls is from the top.
For
the 1997-99 Ford 4x4 F150, F250LD and Expedition the winch mounts
inside the factory bumper. Access to controls is gained through
the large air intake. The wire rope is fed through a roller fairlead
mounted beneath the bumper.
