Im going to end up getting a winch bumper as well. I too looked at the iron cross, but found it was better to go to a local fab shop and have one custom made so its exactly what i want and line x'd for the same price. Plus it supports local small business and theyll fix it if anything happens
yea, mine is only 6600 gvwr, so an 8k should've been plenty, but i've maxed it a couple of times haha. if you're looking at the one for the excursion, they may allow for a larger winch since there's more room between the frame than an expedition or 150 has
It is a pretty sweet setup actually. Fits up to a 9.5k winch, and it helps stiffen up the frame. Also you can still bolt up the tow hooks which is a nice plus
So I have two builds going right here for different occasions. The first and primary is a 97 Flareside F150 reg cab, "Roxy". Equipped stock with a 4.6L V8 mated with a 5spd manual. I bought it stock in 07 and have been piecing it together since. Parts include; Rancho 4in lift, atx artillery...
Little bit of blizzard overlanding with trusty Roxanne. Unfortunately, that mud claimed the guard. Took maxing out the hi-lift, winching while it was jacked up and three attempts to get her out. Keep in mind that 35s are on her in this pic, that's how deep it was.
Engineers pass in the Rockies. Lake city to Silverton. Awesome overlanding trails and an awesome ride. Apart from bottoming out in a 1ft diameter mudhole at 12000ft haha. stil made for a fun adventure!
