Best video with great views and explanations of bumper removal as I have not found one yet.

[@gpaje]

Great installation video, thank you for posting!

[@pjf5056]

Just ordered mine; great product with great team of folks. Can't wait to get it installed!

[@vicedesigninc]

Stoked to see it on your truck!!

[@thermorex]

VICE design, you have made an awesome product, super easy to install and very straight forward instructions. I have absolutely no regrets getting it, other than waiting so many months to install it... I'd add that @7:35 the easiest way to separate the headlight cover at the fender side from the plastic clamps is to insert a screwdriver in between the cover and the black clamp (that is under the cover) from direction tire towards headlight and gently pry it, that in fact was the hardest part for me in installing the winch. GREAT JOB!

[@vicedesigninc]

Very stoked to hear. Thanks for the feedback Ill give that a try next installation. -Q

[@rickysafer2895]

Really professional installation guys.

[@rickysafer2895]

Good information and a lot of work there.

[@zlseth]

Customer of mine who ordered a new Ram Rebel ordered one of your kits, as well. If I ever want to add a winch to my 2017 Rebel, I'll be sure to look you up. But first I need to replace the stolen winch on my 2004 LJ.....

[@MrShou5]

Very Nice. Thanks for Sharing

[@shawnlathrop852]

You don't necessarily need a right angle attachment...but it helpths!

[@christopherrichards1444]

Awesome product. Would love to see an option come out like this for the 2019+ 2500s. There's a lot of us that would love a "power wagon style" winch option on our regular 2500s!

[@vicedesigninc]

thanks eh!

[@tomtazz]

Would love to see a video of how you installed the light bar above the winch.

[@theiraqiwarveteran]

Just to let you guys know...After installing and hooking the battery back up, I lost my cameras. Couldn't for the life of me figure it out. We were looking for a bad fuse and couldn't find it. After doing some research online, I ran across an article that said sometimes it takes 24 hours for the system to reboot itself. Finger's crossed, we went and checked an hour later and YAY my cameras are back. My bumper sensors are not working yet though, so I am gonna give it a little more time and hope they come back too.

[@jsboening]

Wow! Really clean install. Great product gents. 👍🏻

[@russelllowery9099]

I really like this ..what about the 2014 Ram sport 1500 4x4 5.7 crew cab? With the fiberglass bumper.

[@Chriskelly19067]

Fantastic! Is it possible to order the clutch relocation kit for my 2017 rebel? Would it be able to retrofit? I haven't installed the winch yet but it's the same in the video and id love to retain access to that clutch.

[@tomguertin7713]

Very nice product.

[@vicedesigninc]

Thanks! we had fun designing it

[@kylecorrales9962]

Might be a dumb question but will this work with a generic grille guard installed? It doesn't look like it would be in the way but I'm not sure if any of the mounting hardware would interfere. Thanks in advance!

[@sunnyvalejedi]

Do you guys do rock rails?

[@hydro_rebel7741]

How much does this run? How long does it take? Or where can I take my truck to get it done?

[@crudeawakening2715]

Will this work with 2021 Ram 1500 Rebel Diesel?

[@ralfhiller9043]

Very nice and clean kit. Should work with a night edition Laramie front bumper as well, right? The grey Laramie at the end retained some of the OEM mesh, is that an option?

[@vicedesigninc]

Yup totally compatible! That customer trimmed his factory insert so it fit around the fairlead mount. Click the link below the video for more pics!

[@carlgressel574]

Do you have any videos for the installation and use on 4th gen Ram 1500's?

[@vicedesigninc]

very similiar to our 4th Gen Rebel mount which is installed here -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYWXY4yGd7uleKc We're working on a video for 13-18 Ram 1500's tho!

[@patriotram9204]

You showed this on the Rebel. Does this work for the other body style bumpers as well? I have a Laramie.

Nice video. To bad you didn't show any of the electrical wiring.

[@vicedesigninc]

What items would you like us to show wiring instructions for?

[@jimbopetrella]

What's the cost? My front end just got smashed up and while it's at the body shop I might as well have them slap one of these on

[@JBJHonez]

a mic would have been great, volume up all the way and can barely hear you buys. Great step by step video though. Thanks

[@adorsett]

Two things. 1. Looks like you forgot to renew your domain name because I’m getting the GoDaddy renewal notice when I visit your site. 2. What about a mount for the ecodiesel rebel? It has an intercooler in that lower grill area that I suppose needs relocating.

[@vicedesigninc]

Back up and running! And you are correct - currently the kit only fits the gas motor versions

[@liquidluck8594]

Do you have a video on how to wire the winch to the vehicle? Do you connect it directly to the battery?

[@vicedesigninc]

Winch Red cable (positive) directly to the battery Positive (+) terminal, and Winch black cable (negative) directly to the battery Negative (-)Terminal. We recommend installing our control box relocation kit -> www.vicedesign.ca/collections/control-box-relocation-kits/products/ram-warn-vr-evo-control-box-relocation-kit

[@rdhall9190]

Where do I get that "Metric Crescent Wrench"?

[@WorkPlayDrive]

You caught that too lol

[@frankrandol7998]

I did this back in 2013 for my Bighorn 1500. i cut down a Mopar winch bracket and mounted it underneath. The winch was a 12k lbs winch from Harbor freight. I then bought the remote for the winch and hardwired it right behind the grill. I bought some 2012 Power Wagon decals and rebadged the truck. Guys at Orange Park Dodge Service said it fooled them at first, said it looked factory.

[@DAVIDPEREZ-ux8cp]

They obviously didn't know that power wagons are strictly 2500. I bet all the Power Wagon owners passed you laughing their asses off with the wagon graphics on a 1500 with a harbor freight winch.👉😆👈 😆

[@frankrandol7998]

@@DAVIDPEREZ-ux8cp In fact you do not know that up until 1990 (Power Ram) and 1980 (Power Wagon) you could get a Power Wagon in either 100,150 or 250. No one was laughing troll. Know before you open your flappy mouth. You probably do not even own a Power Wagon...

[@marcusdarby2854]

Will this work on Ram 1500 Rebel with Air suspension? Any upgrade needed to suspension to support the additional weight? Will you need to repeat the installation process if the winch fails and needs to be replaced?

[@vicedesigninc]

Yes it will! No additional upgrades needed. The winch and bracket add under 120lbs and the air suspension will automatically adjust to maintain the same ride height. The winch can be removed without performing the entire installation process. We recommend using the WARN VR EVO 10-s or 12-s for the best reliability and useability.

[@scottpackard5489]

Will this setup work with the 1200lb Badland ZXR from harbor freight?

[@vicedesigninc]

It will bolt up (as it uses the standard bolt pattern) but there are a few reasons I'd look at skipping the badlands and investing into a winch we based the winch mount around ( WARN VR EVO or Smittybilt GEN 2 X20 ) 1. Wireless Remotes - Makes using the winch so much easier, no need to crawl under the bumper to plug it in. 2. Synthetic Rope - about 20lbs less than steel cable, and a lot safer! You'll have to buy a hawse fairlead for the steel cable. 3. Waterproof Rating - The winches we recommend are waterproof up to 3 feet underwater, while the Badlands is just mist/splash proof 4. Clutch handle relocation - We've made an accessory that puts the winch clutch handle directly on the bumper to make it easy to spool out your hook. 5. Internal Brakes - the ZXR brake mechanism is on the outside of the winch exposed to getting rusty. I like these moving parts to be internal and protected. 6. Control Box relocation Kit - We've made an optional accessory that puts the brain box of the winch in your engine bay to make it super easy to plug in, as well keep it protected from dirt, mud and roadgrime. Definately extends the life of your winch. Hope that helps!

[@scottpackard5489]

Thank you, that helps a lot.

[@SeattleRoy]

Would this kit work for my Dodge 2020 classic?

[@vicedesigninc]

2020 classic is the 4th gen body style. If you have the steel front bumper on your 2020 classic then this kit will work for you. www.vicedesign.ca/collections/hidden-winch-mounts/products/ram-1500-2013-2018-hidden-winch-mount

[@dennisstahl7621]

Well that looks easy. Piece of cake. Lol

[@dwoodog]

I would use this video as more of a "whats involved" and not a how to. Since I would be getting them to do the install.

[@monzon529]

You guys don’t make them with both options the 8” lights and the sensor combo. Would be nice there is alot of room to have both.

[@timothymcvay7286]

Any ideas for a 2012 dodge ram Laramie 4x4

[@vicedesigninc]

Hey timothy your best option for mounting a winch with your truck is our MOD V2 bumper. Great balance of weight, strength, and wheel clearance. Easy to add lights. You can check that out here - www.vicedesign.ca/products/ram-1500-2009-2018-mod-v2-series-front-bumper

[@vicedesigninc]

Hi Ed - This one works only with this body style 1500. We just finished developing a winch for 2010-2018 RAM 2500/3500 that came with the Hemi Motor (5.7,6.4). It will be on the website later this week and we'll post a youtube video on how to install it.

Theres a cooler (believe it's a water to air) for the supercharger that sits behind the bumper. I havnt been able to get my hands on a trx to come up with a relocation mount for it but if you figure out how to move it out of the way then the 2019-2021 rebel kit will bolt right up!

Anyone happen to know about how much the kit and winch weigh?

The mounting kit with all the hardware is about 60lbs. The WARN VR EVO with synthetic line is 65 lbs. If you're running steel cable on the winch add about 25lbs.

You now have a 5th Gen RAM with a Front Winch, as well as a 5th Gen RAM with a VOIDED FACTORY WARRANTY!..............NO THANKS!...(yes I asked Chrysler, the butchering of the sub-chassis VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY)

[@Gizmo0331]

Well you are half right. It Will void the factory warranty on that particular part and any part that directly relates to it. However it will not void the factory power train or drive train warranty, completely unrelated parts and systems. With all that being said I would have to assume that most of the people who would be installing this kit fully intend on using the truck in a manner that would void the warranty anyway and because of this they don’t care.
