Not sure, all I remember is Dave saying that it would be a pain to add a winch afterward. So I ordered both the bumper and the winch at the same time

You need to remove the skid, and the front face of the bumper.

Yes you have to take off the bumper to fit the winch in. Hopefully you already have the winch plate installed then you don't have to remove absolutally everything. Good luck any more ?s hit me up
