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!

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Agreed

@camsin1973 3 года назад

Great overview Damo. I'll be here tapping my foot til they bring out one for the Ranger XLT !!!

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Thanks Cameron 👍🏻 Hopefully not too far away?

@MrFinality69 2 года назад

These wont fit the xlt? Should be the same truck under the bumper...

@philipw7557 3 года назад

Nice one Damo beats as you say having a bull bar and the extra weight. 👍😎🇳🇿

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

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.

@danielforde-pogson 2 года назад

Cool! I was looking for a snorkel instal vid too. - That'd be great!

@renelr12 Год назад

Awesome!!

@paulpeters5199 3 года назад

That's a sweet setup I'd like to get one for mine in USA I have a 2019 ranger XLT

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Perfect 👌🏼

@TyFenwick 3 года назад

Looks the goods mate 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Yep definitely sits in there nice n tidy 👌🏼 no impact on the front end weight and works hard 💪🏻😎🍺

Like it. Very stealthy

She certainly sits in there nice and clean. All the benefits with none of the weight issues.

@alexwolf8019 3 года назад

Great video man, I was looking at the winch wondering if that would mount on my Everest. I was scratching my head, bc it looks like you added more stuff to the Raptor.

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Mate this cradle won't fit on the Everest, the Raptor has a totally different chassis, you can definitely get something similar but not from these guys.

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

They are working on a cradle that will fit all ranger models as we speak.

@bigal7561 Год назад

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. Here is the link. www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/au/ford-ranger-t6-winch-plate-wpfr001.html

@pathfinderpathfinder6402 Год назад

Hi mate I really like keeping the factory front but also having the winch- are you working on one for the next gen 2023?

@charleskuykendall9625 3 года назад

Will this winch set up fit my USA 2019 Ranger Lariat with adaptive cruise control ? If so how do I order one. Thanks Chuck

@adrianpierce511 3 года назад

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.

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

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 😎👍🏻🇦🇺

@rahimbugo 2 года назад

Mate did you beef up the front suspension?

@markalterado88 8 месяцев назад

Were you connecting that to the tow ball?

@asiaonthebid2792 3 года назад

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.

@user-dg8ci1mk8z Год назад

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

@alexpoultney7783 2 года назад

Does the raptor have the cruise radar?

@kd0zje239 3 года назад

How do you access the clutch lever for the winch? Im getting mine installed tomorrow and just now thinking about this? 😬

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Straight through the front of the bumper. Big enough gap to reach your hand through 👍🏻

@sambodmer2993 Год назад

I like this although the gearbox will hot now the intercooler is cover up completely

@jasonbrandon6676 Год назад

were about did you get this fitted?

@simoncutajar6757 3 года назад

Very nice. How much did the winch weigh and did it cause any sag at the front end?

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Cradle weighs in at 16KG and winch weighs in at 28KG...Zero sag in the front.

@thealterator 3 года назад

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 )

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Definitely mate, great advice. Always weight the winch rope if unsure of the loads.

@b0wen11 3 года назад

@@RoundTheFire I'm more interested in this 3rd party air box you installed. can you give any details on that Damo?

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

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...

@b0wen11 3 года назад

@@RoundTheFire Oh wow, $1,450 for that combo, i only paid $300 (cost, as one of first in au), to rich to me.

Damn this would be awesome but I have the adaptive cruise control

@kmuinde 3 года назад

Hides neatly in there way better than having bull bar

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Definitely and saves a lot of weight.

@7mikepd 2 года назад

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.

@mikedee6974 3 года назад

Have you had any performance issues with blocking intercooler?

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

Zero Issues so far, still plenty of air flow getting in 👍🏻

@crazycressy7986 Год назад

Hi would you know the spec on the front tow hooks it states 4635kg is this with both being used at the same time ?

@RoundTheFire Год назад

Yes, if you bridal both together then you get the full spec almost 5T pull capability

@Dave_Hunter 3 года назад

Hi Damo, what does this do to the warranty on the Raptor?

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

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.

@wolfywolfwolf9871 3 года назад

What winch did you use ? Many thanks

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

I’m using the mongrel off road 12000LBS winch 👍🏻

@fehrer1000 3 года назад

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.

@RoundTheFire 3 года назад

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 👍🏻

@fehrer1000 3 года назад

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.
