Winch Setups

my 69, I like that the winch is 'kingof' hidden.

Yes! Saw that & expect it will be on the front of my new Bronco. Earlier thought I might just do without a winch. Good friend & club member just got out of trouble with help from 2 winches. Nope, don't plan to go out without a winch. used y winches just enough to think I still need 1.

I'm running an 8274 with the upgraded 6.5 horse motor. It moves!

We'll see what else becomes available by the time I finally get my Bronco, But as of today I'm probably going to go with this (Still waiting for some more details and/or reviews)

To date I like this Warn bumper. I spoke to AEV a while back. They have not started a build for the Bronco. I want to see what they come up with.

I contacted Warn back in March and they didn't have a winch plate for the 8274 that fit the Bronco, as that was my winch of choice at the time. There didn't seem to be (any) interest in putting the 8274 on the Bronco, except me and a couple old-timer Warn folks.

Is there a Warn winch that can easily be removed and put back on. I saw some stories that folks winches were being stolen off their vehicle. Just curious.

They can all be removed and put back on easily. Usually four bolts. If it's something you're worried about, lock-tite one of the nuts, or tack/spot-weld one of the nuts.

Thanks...I was hoping Warn might create a quick release option. Release a lever, remove the power cord and it is off. Maybe a place to put a lock to secure it during use. I spend a lot time on the highway. Would make it quicker to leave it off if i'm not on the trails. Thanks again...Dave

There are options, but I feel like you're over-thinking this. Maybe a Warn Quick Connect https://www.warn.com/quick-connect-power-cable-plugs-22680 and portable winch mount?

Yep...I have these type of power connects for an ATV. Now need the same to mount the winch and we're good to go. Not over thinking, trying to make better.
