Anyone know if the HF Apex Winch would fit on the Ironman Classic bumper? This winch seems really nice for the money.

dimension are smaller than the Warn Zeon 10-S unit. I will find out.
@Washingtontaco has a Warn Zeon 10-S in his Ironman Premium so it's safe to say that if the dimensions are smaller than the Warn it should work fine. I can verify that the Smittybuilt XRC Gen 3 9.5 Comp fits as well and @BMRisko has a Superwinch Tigershark 11500 in his without issue.
You you should have 6 3/4" space from the winch cradle above to the grill support. If the Apex winch is smaller your good.

If I relocate the control box then i think I should have enough space. I will take some pictures when the times come to install.

Mine is installed but you will have to remove the spot weld bracket right on top. The control box remains on top of the winch and I have enough room to reach in to rotate the dial to release the lines or turn on the winch.
Looking at install photos it looks like with the classic bumper the cradle ends up sitting lower to the ground then the premium bumper. I think I am going to have to reroute the cooling lines or something to get the room I need to get almost anything to fit in the premium cradle.
Did you take any pictures of your winch install I could take a look at?

I will try to post some pics tomorrow. However, there is plenty of room and you do not need to remove the winch control and you do have to remove the support bracket.

Sorry , no pictures during the install but it was straight forward.
That helps . I have the adaptive cruise on mine so I will be able to look at it to see if it is in the way. Thanks for the pictures.
