I didn't get a chance to see it myself, but it probably looks just like the Raptor. I didn't buy one at the time.

 

Nice! I figured it would fit! You happen to get any pics?? How easy was install, a few bolts??

Did you ask about a group buy?

 

Sorry guys, I didnt even think of asking about a group buy. My bad =(

As far as the installation goes, I was quoted for about an hour and a half and since I lived right down the road I had someone come pick me up. I'm guessing it probably only took them 20-30 minutes to install the thing, if that. There was definitely no cutting or drilling for the thing to be put on, everything it just like when I brought it in. Seems to be just a bolt on mod.

I would have stood around and took pictures but at the time it looked like they were working on 4+ vehicles at once in quite the busy shop so I didn't want to ask if I could stick around. Plus they probably couldn't have even let me stick around for liability reasons but who knows.

All I can say is that it worked, that's what they told me. Perhaps someone can contact Serena and ask about a group buy?

 

I am guessing this won`t be a good idea for a Ecoboost because of the intercooler. Opinions? Oh well, this might seal the deal for the 5.0. Damn, that sure is a sweet set up.

 

Serena and I played phone tag today. I will order one monday if they are open. Hopefully they have a couple already made and they can ship it early week. Thanks alot American Raptor for your time!!!!!!!!! I will let you guys know how everything fits. I will be using a Warn xd 9000i.

Let me know how it goes and I'll be number two. Same Setup, but I may go with the synthetic winch rope and aluminum roller fairlead.. Depends, wife has not been happy lately.. AR-10, XD45 and Springfield TRP!



LOTS OF PICTURES!!!

 

FYI:

I ordered an Eco Boost F150 front license plate bracket last week in anticipation of this setup working on our trucks. That way the truck can still have the license plate on the front, just relocated to the drivers side of the front bumper in order to compensate for the winch and fairlead...

Just a thought if your state requires a front license plate!

 

I am concerned about the air flow to the intercooler and if there is enough room for the winch.

 

I am not, I do not have an Eco Boost.

However, I am sure someone who has one (Eco Boost) could take some measurements from the rad/intercooler and compare those to some relative points on our vehicles once these (winch/mounts) are installed.

 

Here is my 09 winch mount.It is bolt on also.And it cost $150.00 and is made all in 3/8" steel.

 

Did you ever order?

 

Nope--Saturday night about 9 I get a call from my bank asking about some charges on my debit card. Someone hacked my card and ordered a bunch of crap from Netflix and Walmart.com. So, they canceled my card and I had to go fill out a affidavit this morning saying the charges were not mine. So, it will be 3-5 business days before I get my new card in. I am going to try and use my work credit card and order it and just pay my work back with cash. I won't be able to do that until Wed. because my boss is in the Keys on vacation until Wed. Can't use Paypal because that acct. was tied to the debit card that got hacked.

Ordered one this morning--Hopefully it will get here by Friday and I can put it on sometime during the weekend. I will post pics after the install.

Nice! Hopefully all goes well! What winch are you going with?? I think that I have decided to run the Warn 9.5ti, but I am still not 100%.

Lots of pics will be nice!

 

It is a Warn xd9000i I have lying around. I also have a Warn 12k but I doubt it will fit. Hopefully it will be here by friday so I can get it on over the weekend.
