Anyone have any experience with using the aev winch mount and retaining the stock bumper? Kind of like a hidden winch mount setup.

 

Alright, so I installed my AEV winch mount and a warn xd9000i. No way you are getting the stock bumper back on without some major modifications. Also anyone who is thinking of using this brand winch mount and an integrated winch make sure you get some 3/8 inch spacers. These fit between the winch mount and the frame horns. Without these an intergated winch hits the grill when bolted on.
