- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- G'day Guys, Welcome back, in this video we go through the install process of the brand new Australian Made hidden winch cradle by Mongrel Off Road. This brand new product on the market for the Ford Ranger Raptors is a game changer when weight matters but performance is paramount. Weighing in at only 16kgs this cradle is a beast!! This cradle is an excellent alternative to a big a bulky front bull bar, keeping your Raptor lightweight and ready to take on the tuff stuff. Hope you enjoy the video.

What an awesome product no need for a big heavy and some would say dangerous bullbar, top marks!
Agreed
Great overview Damo. I'll be here tapping my foot til they bring out one for the Ranger XLT !!!
Thanks Cameron 👍🏻 Hopefully not too far away?
These wont fit the xlt? Should be the same truck under the bumper...
That's a sweet setup I'd like to get one for mine in USA I have a 2019 ranger XLT
Perfect 👌🏼
Like it. Very stealthy
She certainly sits in there nice and clean. All the benefits with none of the weight issues.
Thank you for the video. I couldn’t see the final look close enough , One ques: can you access the winch clutch(to pull the rope out manually) from the gap in the bumper which is below the plate number ? Or it’s not accessible? Thank you again
Yes, plenty of room to reach “through” the bumper. Winch is also accessible from the side which is the most convenient
Looks the goods mate 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Yep definitely sits in there nice n tidy 👌🏼 no impact on the front end weight and works hard 💪🏻😎🍺
Nice one Damo beats as you say having a bull bar and the extra weight. 👍😎🇳🇿
exactly right mate, as much as i like the protection of a full bar, the weight on the factory Raptor suspension is just too much with full bar work.
How do you access the clutch lever for the winch? Im getting mine installed tomorrow and just now thinking about this? 😬
Straight through the front of the bumper. Big enough gap to reach your hand through 👍🏻
Great job mate. Little bit jealous though. We still can't leave our home outside a 5km radius due to an idiot running our state. Watching others adventures is as good as it gets at the moment.
Hopefully the restrictions loosen up soon mate. it’s a bit silly going to the bush/camping isn’t allowed 😳 ?? Keep a level head and just imagine the trip as soon as the gates are open 😎👍🏻🇦🇺
awesome work. Getting enough gear to do another 'walk-around' inside/out :)
For the safety conscious out there, would you put something weighted on the cable to help transfer any excess energy back into the ground if something snaps? (obviously off the other guys ute :P )
Definitely mate, great advice. Always weight the winch rope if unsure of the loads.
@@RoundTheFire I'm more interested in this 3rd party air box you installed. can you give any details on that Damo?
The Airbox is an extra that you can order with the snorkel from platinum. I’m actually fairly surprised with how it performs. I have always been anti fabricated snorkels...
@@RoundTheFire Oh wow, $1,450 for that combo, i only paid $300 (cost, as one of first in au), to rich to me.
What winch did you use ? Many thanks
I’m using the mongrel off road 12000LBS winch 👍🏻
when are you getting more of these mounts and do you ship internationally? im in the US and would love to get one of these installed!
😃 cheers
16 kilos vs 80 kilos, plus it looks a million times better. did he say it would fit in the regular ranger? i couldn't quite understand what he was getting at there.
I am one of your long time follower subscriber. Where can I buy/order your Complete Winch Set? May I have the Contacts? Thank you
Available via my website www.roundthefire.store
Thank you bro!
Wow 1k for the cradle with bolts 😬 🤷🏻 ganna start saving. Well worth it for that factory look I'm going for 😊💕 I'm glad there starting to get more mods in the ranger community like the 3 light projector led headlight housing. There's some very tastfull but practical mods I'm digging.
Very nice. How much did the winch weigh and did it cause any sag at the front end?
Cradle weighs in at 16KG and winch weighs in at 28KG...Zero sag in the front.
Hides neatly in there way better than having bull bar
Definitely and saves a lot of weight.
Does the raptor have the cruise radar?
Awesome!!
I like this although the gearbox will hot now the intercooler is cover up completely
Let us know when you hav3 something for the RA Raptor. Most keen
That was excellent. Well done. I'm looking for one for my 2020 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 off road. Has the skid plate. I think you can even put a light bar in too. Now I have to see if you have one that will fit well for my Ford. Don't need a super heavy duty and would like to mod it to roll into the winch with no hook outside.
Very good job presenting it. I'm from Oklahoma and I just subbed and will be going to your web site...I think you have one. Once again, well presented.
G’day mate, I don’t have a hidden winch mount for the XLT but you will be able to find one at Frontrunner outfitters.

Have you had any performance issues with blocking intercooler?
Zero Issues so far, still plenty of air flow getting in 👍🏻
Were you connecting that to the tow ball?
were about did you get this fitted?
Damn this would be awesome but I have the adaptive cruise control
Hi would you know the spec on the front tow hooks it states 4635kg is this with both being used at the same time ?
Yes, if you bridal both together then you get the full spec almost 5T pull capability
@@RoundTheFire thank you 🤘
Will this winch set up fit my USA 2019 Ranger Lariat with adaptive cruise control ? If so how do I order one. Thanks Chuck
Hi mate I really like keeping the factory front but also having the winch- are you working on one for the next gen 2023?
Hi Damo, couldn't see who did the install. Where did you get it done and what did they charge you? Got a cradle arriving today and my fitter bailed on me.
Hi Damo, what does this do to the warranty on the Raptor?
As far as i can gather, no change to the warranty. I've had the Raptor in for a service and asked about it and they weren't phased.
They wouldn’t have one for the wildtrak would they ?? 👀
Not yet mate but they tell me they are working on something 👍🏻
@@RoundTheFire I am also Keeping my eyes out for the one for Wildtrak
Cool! I was looking for a snorkel instal vid too. - That'd be great!
It's very easy when they have a Lifter :D
Looks good mate. Needs a factor 55 ;)
needs a cannon
Mate did you beef up the front suspension?
Good info. Thanks.
What’s you fuel economy like?
Really good. Mine is Slightly over what the manufacturer says but that’s to be expected after accessories.
Hey, Do you think adding winch on ranger raptor may cause to change the weight balance. I thınk raptor's shocks are working best with anything added. Sorry about my english :)
I want to do some things on my raptor (fridge, boxes, winch etc.) But ım afraid of change the weight balance of the car.
A winch in this configuration won’t upset the balance. If you start to add too much steel bar work just for looks you will quickly notice the change. This can be fixed by changing the springs on your suspension but that’s the last thing I really want to do after all you paid good money for the fox suspension in the first place 👍🏻
@@RoundTheFire Unfortunately ı cant fınd upgraded springs in my country. If ı want to import them, it will be very expensive.I need the stick with the original ones anyway :)
Thank you very much for your reply..
@@fehrer1000 no problem, I am also only building my truck to keep as much of the standard components.
