Default Pics of Winch in MOPAR front bumper

I am staging to purchase a winch and I would like to see how various winches look in the MOPAR off road front bumper. I've searched around quite a bit and have only found decent pics with the Smittybuilt XRC-8 Comp, WARN 9.5ti and the WARN M8000. From my reserach the WARN Powerplant HP will not fit (without modding the bumper) because it is too tall but correct me if I'm wrong and post of pic of this guy if you have it. Any winch pics with this bumper wanted, please let me know what type of winch it is too.

No winch yet, but here's the bumper. I thought I did something wrong as the fairlead looks like it is lined up to the driver side. But, looking at these other photos, I think its by design.

I used 3M Spray-on Bedliner to repaint the bumper. I love the look!

I have the XRC-8 and was able to install it without taking the Mopar bumper off. I was able to torque it to spec in the bumper, too.

I dreaded having to get to those nutserts in the back of the bumper if I took it off the jeep.

I had to use my xd9000i for the first time (getting myself out) this last weekend. In fact used it three times. It really was awesome. Stuck in deep mud and the winch with synthetic line worked perfectly. Highly recommend it!

Just purchased the XD, did you need to take off the bumper to install?
