2024 Ford F250 Lariat

[JACKAL]

Cool. I had thought about ordering the RC mount for my 2020 Tremor and putting a winch on

Rough Country Hidden Winch Mount... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1S7D36Q?tag=sxsweb24-20

That's the actual unit I installed.

So the wife asks me, you are going to put a heavy grill guard on or something to protect the front from deer, etc.? We are heading out in only 7 months.

I said well I wanted to but didn't want to mention it until you were all healed up and about.

Like the great wife she is said, find something stout like you did for the F450 ( Road Amor - bounced off 2 deer and 3 antelope in Wyoming, not even a scratch).

That said I wanted a full front replacement that also allows full function of front camera, parking sensors, and adaptive cruise control as well as the OEM fog lights and up to a 15k winch.

Did a lot of looking and not one bumper/grill guard checked off every want from $2500-$4000 range.

Started checking far and wide using AI search bot and it gave me a hit on a Steelcraft bumper item # HD11390RCCW even better it was about $1800 MSRP, website RealTruck.com had it advertised at $1599 fee shipping. Then sent me a 10% off code. That was enough to get me to bite.

Truck just dropped it off, jeez 350# and no pallet. Just the brackets from bumper to truck frame were 64 lbs. Very happy with the appearance of build quality from the sturdy standpoint.

Can't wait to get this on.....

Finally had a nice day today, so got around to installing my Steelcraft HD11390RCCW winch bumper. Install was pretty easy, took a while doing it solo as it weighs over 400 lbs with the winch installed. Like advertised all parking sensors worked properly as well as the Adaptive cruise control module. Only lost about 20% field of view with the front camera with this brush guard configuration. I will take some better pics in daylight.

Before:

OEM bumper and brackets stripped off

And all buttoned up.

What are you doing with your painted bumper?

What are you doing with your painted bumper?

Storing it on a shelf. No plans for now. LOL

I would definitely entertain finding it, associated brackets, OEM hardware. Tremor and OEM front valance, and Rough Country hidden winch mount all a new home.

Tow pig doing tow pig things. Replacement culverts that were rusted and washed out on my mountain.

Did you adjust your ride height?

Did you adjust your ride height?

No, it's fine from the manufacturer. My pickups get leveled by towing, no need for squat to P looks.

What you squat to P?

Just to keep from intimidating beta males.
