winch & tow hooks?

Theres not really a place for a winch or tow hooks on my '96 bronco. I was thinking a bull bar mounts to the frame and I could mount the hooks and winch to the bull bar right? Also if anyone has pictures of this setup that would be great.

check out some fab shops in your town. a custom bumper would work real good. remember you will also need at least a 9000lb winch for our heavy rigs.

I have the A Warn Transformer on mine. Provides very solid mounting to frame around the bumper, but sticks out kind far past our long nose. May be able to see in my gallery I am not sure. But plenty strong have made good use of it. Price wise a custom bumper would likely be a couple hundred more but I have wished I would have gone that route, just because of the over-hang, but I already spent the $$$ once hard to justify a second time.

i'm jacking my own thread! I heard that 33 X 12.50 will fit without a lift, is that true and also are my stock wheels wide enough or do I need different wheels?

Someone told me to get a reciever hitch for the front and put the winch on that. I seen the bumpers they make with the winch brackets and they're ugly and expensive. I really want to go off roading but have never done it and don't know what my bronco is capable of and don't want to get stuck and not get unstuck.

This is a cool accessory to add to any truck. We have a new patented product called the Hitch Safe Key Vault that fits into most 2 inch receiver hitches. This allows you to store a spare key inside the receiver hitch that can only be accessed using your own personal 4 digit code. You will never be locked out of your truck again. We have complete videos on our web site showing how it works and how to set the combination. We currently have a promotion on our site giving one away for free. All you need to do is visit our site and register to be qualified for the give away.

Feel free to share the contest with your friends.


Thank You
