Super Cel East Underhood vs ARB Twin 12V Compressor Kit?

Their hidden winch was on my list until I've seen a couple that people took offroad and hit some stuff. I just want a little more clearance.

I considered their hidden mount as well and passed.. Mainly for the reason you describe (loss of height) but also since I assume getting to the clutch would be a struggle and there would be no way to check line spooling.. At least none that I could tell..

The High Winch mount is just that ----> HIGH... Holy toledo's that thing sits way on up there... But there are not many options unless I want a new bumper, which I don't as I am happy with the Ford HD Modular one. I don't really think a low profile winch mount is in the cards due the the modular bumper design.

I looked at the JCR one as well but saw people digging it into the ground at steep angles due to it's design. It's lower and sticks out further than the RC version. I went with the high winch mount as the lessor of the evils so to speak..

I figure most of the people buying broncos are not people who have done a bunch of work on their own vehicles their entire life. More of those people by RC stuff and since they aren't used to how not every aftermarket part fits perfect, or looks perfect, they give RC stuff shit.

I know my limits and when it comes to anything that's wiring or electrical related, I generally take a pass and have a professional do it.. If it's not as simple red to pos and black to neg I ain't messing with it! LOL..

I wired up my Autostop Eliminator but that was so simple a child could have done it. Pop a few panels off the dash, unplug one factory wire, plug the male end of factory wire into their harnesses female end then plug male end of their harness into the original factory spot..

I have a 12" Infotainment screen upgrade on the way and I am not even going to attempt it. The install looks pretty straight forward but I am gonna take a pass and have a professional do it..

I also don't know of a single company that's going to help or assist (never mind over the phone) if you've modified their product. Butchering up a wiring harness then expecting over the phone support is a bit odd but I guess that's the world we live in these days.

I feel bad for the OP of that thread and hope he/she gets it sorted but it is a good example of knowing your abilities and if it's not something you can confidently do, farm it out to a professional..

Yeah, I do my own work and want to save money without cutting corners where I can. Probably why I like RC.

Been doing my own work since.... elementary school when I was taking apart and putting bikes back together. Then mini bikes. Had help from my dad and others (he was an electronics tech with control data). Biggest project in a while was a 93 thunderbird sc that I rebuilt the motor on, upgraded the blower, moved the battery, added a water/air intercooler, plumbed it and did all the wiring, plus wiring for data logging, and programming the computer for the new mods. That was 14 years ago. I'm looking forward to playing on the bronco over the next 14 years.

Me too, sort of. In elementary school I helped my uncle with his 442s and Chevelles along with his figure 8 and demo cars. I now realize I was just handing him tools and doing some light wrench work but he sure made me feel like I was doing important stuff.
