Default Stock bumper winch mount

I just looked through the new JK only catalog from Qtech and didn't see one so I'm asking.

Is there a winch mount you can buy to mount a winch to the stock JK bumper?

Rough Country makes one as well... can't find the thread but it was on here a while ago.
Heres the page on their site. I think there is another universal winch mounting plate they have for like $70

There's probably not that much demand. Or am I wrong.

You could also get a front hitch and use a hitch mounted winch attachment. That way you can move it front or back depending on how you need it.

Default Quadratec...

If you look again, Warn has one in the Quadratec magazine you talked about. I'm not sure but Ramsey also shows to have a mounting plate, but it doesn't specify if it fits the factory bumper or not.

I don't see it in their new JK only catalog. So I'm guessing it's a generic plate.

Some of us have taken matters into our own hands and used a TJ plate to mount a winch into the stock bumper. All it takes is a drill, an angle grinder an appropriate repertoire of curse words to make it happen. Here's a link to the write up thread.

Winch mount w/factory bumper

And my own installation details within that same thread:

Geko's winch install

And here is what the finished product looked like!
