Bad lands winch compatibility

Kc7pwx · Aug 28, 2019

Has anyone mounted a Harbor Freight Badlands 18,000 lb winch in a off road winch bumper on a 2nd gen truck.
The stated measurments for the winch are
27" long 11 3/4" high and 8 7/16" deep.
I am leaning towards the Hammer head bummper.

I did not know they had an 18k lb winch. I have a few similar models that are 9k and 13k lb. I use the receiver hitch mounts and have front hitches on most of our trucks. They do well for what I use them for (pulling other people out as a tow truck driver) I have not personally used those winches to help me get out when stuck.

I do not know what the hammerhead bumper is either, but if you post pics I'm sure everyone will know what it is.

This is the Hammerhead winch bumper.
They have 6 designs, 3 winch & 3 non winch, but this is the basic design.
The other 2 are a prerunner and a full brush gaurd

I went into a Harbor Freight to verify the dimmensions of the winch and they told me that it is online only.

It is an online only winch because of its weight. My wife is a manager at Harbor Freight.
You can also go into the store talk to a manager about it and order it from the store. I also recommend getting the wireless remote kit.

If the winch mounts to the frame of the truck it should be fine with any bumper. I believe with those bumpers (Ive only seen them once on a newer model cummins) they mount to the bumper and the frame with a flat place for them to rest.
