Default Factory bumper with winch
Does anyone have a winch on their factory bumper? If so, how do you like it?

Yep. I have a Warn 8274-50 mounted with a Warn kit that mounts it to the stock Jeep front bumper. Looks great and works awesome.

Hey Flash, are you running stock coil springs, or do you have something different? Did your front end sag quite a bit after installing the winch?

I mounted my SUPERWINCH EPI 9.0S using a Rough Country winch support plate and I am pleased with the results

I have a stock bumper with a TJ winch plate, Warn M8000 and RC Stubby kit. It works well and I like the look, but I am giving my JK the AEV treatment, so it is time to move on.

Since I'm running coil spacers I did'nt want to add too much weight, that's why I was going to stick with the factory bumper. Now I just need to figure out what winch I want. Thanks for all your help guy's, nice looking rides too.
