Is this winch ok? Rugged Ridge Heavy Duty 10,500lbs. It's $399.99 at quadratec
Seems pretty cheap. What am I missing?
Also I would like to mount it hidden with the stock bumper. Will it even fit?

How much is involved in mounting a winch to the stock bumper? Is there enough foundation in the bumper or do you have to add more than just the winch mount plate? I would like to keep from adding a lot of weight to the Jeep if possible and I like the way yours is hidden inside the stock bumper, seem like it is less restrictive to air flow to the radiator and engine compartment.
for 100 more you can get new smittybuilt 10000 xh20 water proof. I installed it with the stock bumper. works very good.
