Does anyone know if there is a hidden winch mount on the market for a 2008 F-150? Rough Country only makes them for 2009+. I looked on Warn's site and they only make them for 2004-2005. Why is this? Is there something different about the frame? I'm sure I could fabricate one, but it would save a lot time if I could buy one.

 

the only thing i have seen different is the opening in the bumpers aren't as big on the 06 to 08. I have looked and that seems to be it. thought about putting a receiver hitch and a portable carrier for a winch.

 

The frames are the same, but as mentioned, the bumpers themselves are not but the mounts are the same, and so is the reinforcement behind it. Other than that I can not help with any of this, but can suggest that most people go for the goofy 'boondock' bumpers and throw lights and winches on those instead.

 

I'm not going to do that. 'Boondock' bumpers look even worse on stock 20s I'll look into fabricating something when I have more time in the future.

 

Thank goodness. I hate seeing those boondocks on these trucks. I think only 3/4 ton or bigger trucks can pull the look off. But I about hate those bumpers more than eBay projector heads on these trucks.
