Mopar winch Bumper mods, Powerplant and Lights
Here are some pics of my modified Mopar Winch Bumper to fit the Warn Powerplant and Mopar Fog Lights. Hows it look?

Either way, it looks to be a sweet set-up. The powerplant is one nice unit!

Lights in Bumper
How difficult was it to mount the lights and the winch in the Mopar bumper? I have been thinking about getting these bumpers, but I know that the winch doesn't fit without cutting it and I would love to have the lights in it too.

Rebel, it looks like you changed the winch hoop on your bumper also. I assume that was so that you could fit the Powerplant.

Thanks to Pup for the picture size solution, thanks to BlkRubi for the Rim info.
The fog light mounting was pretty easy. Hardest part is drilling the 4" hole.
The PVC is 4" and can be cut to any size depending how far you want your lights sunk into the bumper. I measured mine 1.5" on the short side and cut 45 degrees up to the pipe centerline, then cut off parrallel to the bottom. Painted with black plastic paint. The 4" hole is centered on the bumper bend line, on each side. Next file smooth the outer edge of the fog light lense, it will then fit into the PVC with some room to adjust later, if your drilling is off. Now position the spacer and light over the hole opening, mark the four mounting holes, from the lights onto the bumper making sure it is centered!. Drill and countersink the holes(3/16"). Use 10-32 countersunk head Stainless bolts/hardware to then attach everything together. This is a very solid mounting. The winch mounting was more involved. The powerplant will not fit without some mods. I had to make a new hoop, make the winch opening larger and redrill the mounting holes. The worst part was mounting the bumper/winch to the Jeep. You have to leave the winch floating on the bumper and then lift the whole works over the frame ends,, very tight fit. The grill will take some work to get off in the future since there is only 1/2 space between the grill and the winch.
