Did you ever receive an update on the part? Called the dealer again and they moved the backorder date to September 22nd now after they told me the 14th originally. I have a feeling this is just going to keep getting pushed back more and more...
When I called them the other day they told me it was back ordered until the 14th. I am going to call them tomorrow and see if they have an update. Going on close to two weeks without mine now too.
I'll just say this. Mine failed at 2,700 miles leaving me stranded for over 4+ hours requiring a tow. The wiring harness either got pulled apart or caught in the fan and the truck would not run. Had to coast off the road because the engine quit. I am looking through the Forum too see how...
Yeah as much as I would love to have the 589 winch bracket on my Ranger I think I am leaning more towards the front receiver hitch solution. Be able to take the winch on and off to keep it out of the elements and as a bonus be able to slide it on the rear hitch too.
Might not be a bad idea...
Yeah I agree with you it's best to rinse off the salt as soon as you can. However, up here it is just not practical or realistic to do that. They salt the roads several times a week up here and the temps stay well below freezing all winter. I'd have to rinse off the truck everyday I drove it...
This is great thank you! Thanks for the extra photos also. I can see a number of ways the front receiver could come into play. Makes me just want one more.
That brush guard is a beast and looks great. I like how it retains the factory tow hooks too. I was wondering how the paint was but...
I've been thinking of doing this exact same thing. Do you use the front receiver hitch for a winch on a winch tray that slides into the receiver? If so how does it fit and what are the clearances? Any photos of that?
How do you like the Blackhorse brush guard? It's been one of the brush...
How do you like the CX Evolve so far? This is the one I am thinking of but heard there are issues with some of them. Doesn't seem like too many people have them yet. How's the fit of the curved glass against the tailgate? Is it a pretty good seal?
I would be interested in these if you are planning on making another batch this year.
Just for curiosities sake do you think these could work with a brush guard? Would there be enough room for the winch tray to slide in between the two vertical brackets of a brush guard?
I am strongly considering a front receiver hitch mount with the ability to move the winch front and back and put it in the back of the truck under the topper to keep it out of the elements. So it's good to find out that one is out there.
I've also thought of a brush guard with a 2" receiver...
Hey All,
New member here. I have a question for anyone who has had a winch on their vehicle in the Midwest. I've always lived in the Upper Midwest where they seem to pave the roads with salt in the winter. Wanting to put a winch on the Ranger but I have hesitations about it. I know someone...
