Default Front Bumper Help! "Non-Winch"

So this may seem like an Oxymoron to most but Im looking for a front bumper for my 2012 Unlimited that is NOT designed for a winch mount. I know that most would think this defeats the purpose but yea....Thanks for any suggestions!

Here is my old front bumper I had to remove because I was trying to fab a winch plate to use with this bumper but it was going to be too much of a p.i.t.a. It has factory fog light connections and has 2 "d"ring shackles that bolt on...these pics were taken a few months back before I swapped bumpers, but it is in good shape and I have all of the mounting hardware. I'm in upstate NY but I would ship it to ya if you're interested. If so shoot me a p.m. I'd love to see it go to a fellow forum member.
Edit: this is from my 07 and it bolts directly to the frame rails but you would have to make sure they fit because i'm not sure

Ace engineering's front bumper can be run without a winch and you can also keep the factory fog light ... Really nice bumpers I have one on my 2012

Or you could look at the Rugged Ridge XHD non-winch mount.
