Did you have to cut your frame for the bumper install? In the pics it looks like it mounts in the factory location.

I have finished the install on the TNT guardian front bumper and loving the approach angle in the front. I sleeved the frame with Dom tubing and also capped the end of the frame to add a little strength and keep stuff from getting in the frame as much as possible.

Yeah I was just wondering, it didn't look like the winch tucked in very far.
