Ok everyone.......can anyone post up some pics or links that are running the stock bumper with a winch please?

I'm getting a winch but have no need for a heavy bumper. Don't care for the stubby style either. I have seen a few pics that have a winch mounted on top of the stock bumper and have seen 1 pic of someone that had a winch mounted INSIDE the stock bumper with solenoid mounted on top.
I'd really like that setup so I'm looking for pics and write ups of the two options. Not getting anywhere with the infinite search options.

Thanx!

Prefer the in bumper mod. Can't find that one.

 

Rock hard winch plate.

 

Don't think first post uploaded.

 

Here is my set up

 

I think I have a good write up on the in bumper set up on my laptop..when I get a chance ill post it here. Lot more cutting then I was willing to do and you have to mount the winch in upside down but I agree its a cool look. It was just more work than I was willing to get into

Read thru here. It has a lot of good ideas

 

Stock front w/ VDP end caps, SmittyBilt winch plate and 8k winch, and custom fab'd nose bar. I've never been able to find a light bar for the front that will fit the factory bumper w/ a winch.



As for mounting inside the bumper... some of the mounts require that you remove the sway bar. And if you have a Rubicon, it won't work b/c of the disconnect mechanism. Just an FYI.
