Just wondering if anyone has tried this setup , any pics. Thanks

 

Lots of threads on this. Easily found with the broken search

 

No disrespect but you gotta Hemi and want to put a winch on a stock bumper?

Rough Country has a winch mounting plate that goes on the stock bumper, I've got one with a 9500lb winch and it works great. The reason I went with this setup is I'm bringing the Jeep overseas and some countries require that the bumpers have to be original equipment.

 

I almost went this route using a hawse fairlead but saw a picture of it and it just didn't look right.

 

LoL , I was considering weight issues. I was gonna go with the tubeless AEV but looking for a lightweight full bumper so I just thought of just adding the winch to my stock bumper. But didn't stop laughing, should've thought of that before posting my thread.

 

I understand since I'm shipping mine home

 

I have the RC plate on my stock bumper with stubby end caps. Quite like it. There are others who have mounted the plate upside down and put the roller fairlead thru the front. You can search that thread on the forum. I will try to attach a pic of my front end from my mobile.

 

Here is mine with the winch plate upside down in the stock bumper:
