Default Winch mount 10th Anniversary edition bumper

Does anybody know if they make them or where to buy them? can I use any winch mounting plate or do I have to use a special one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't it built into the bumper under the cover plate? I really like the bumper and was thinking about ordering one, but that was also partly based on the assumption it was winch-ready. Do you have pics of the backside before it was installed?

Nope, not winch ready. I got mine from the dealership (they took it off to put an AEV bumper onto another customers car). Everything mounts the same, except the lights are farther apart, PITA to stretch wires that far btw. There is no way that there is a plate in there to mount a winch to, not from what I could see. Looked almost identical to the stock one I took off my rubicon. Dealership told me that they would be able to order a winch plate next month. Oh well, til then I wait. Also if you do this, I believe (don't quote me on this) that you have to get the 10th anniv. skid plate. My stocker is plastic and I can't find an aftermarket one to just bolt up.
