Default New winch on factory bumper - SUCCESS!!!
i purchased the new Quadratec 9500i winch with the integrated solenoid and got it mounted to my factory bumper. I took my time - especially when cutting the plastic on the bumper to go around the winch - but overall it was pretty easy. I'm pleased with the results. Now I need to go get stuck somewhere to test the winch!!

It was generic one I found off Ebay for $55. It's just like the Smittybuilt and Quadratech plates designed for the TJ. The mounting holes lined up perfect to the frame rails. Just required drilling three holes in each frame rail for the mounting bolts.

It looks great. But, do you actually think the stock bumper will hold up if used to winch your Jeep? I wouldn't trust it.
