Default Engo Winch Install-Smittybilt SRC Bumper

I purchased my jeep from the dealer with the SRC bumper already installed. I am looking to buy a winch, and I was looking at smittybilt winches until I came across the Engo e9000. Yes, it's cable. Yes, it's ugly. It will live under a cover most of the time and will only see the light of day when I need to help a buddy out. Because Jeeps don't get stuck

My question is.. can I directly bolt this winch to my bumper? or do I need the bracket from engo? My bumper is rated for a 10,000 lb winch and lookis like it has holes drilled for such. But, not sure exactly how this all goes...

You may need to remove the bumper, install winch, reinstall bumper. Unless you have access to someone with really tiny hands and arms.
