Winch with Stock Bumper!
Well I think there are many out there that have been looking for this, or how to do this for a long time now.
I started out with a X20 Smittybilt 8k winch,
Got a winch mounting plate at harbor freight for $33. (had a coupon)
Then bought some nuts and bolts from Lowes to mount the plate.
There were some minor modification to the winch plate as well as the front frame rails but all in all it fit well and seems to be really sturdy and solid.
Here are some pics, let me know what you think.
The bumper looks crooked but its really my grill that is crooked, because the tab that mounts the passenger side light is broken, hope to remedy that soon.

Thanks guys! Still not quite done. Still want to change the fair lead and mount some lights down there to take away from how far it sticks out.

winch
Have you got any plans step by step on how you put it all together? I got a 01 T4r that has that front bumper that stick out quiet a ways that I think i can fit my winch in. I have the same winch that that you have, I picked it up a while ago. yours looks real slick, it doesn't stick out to far out front. What was that plate that you picked up at HF?Would a pcs of angle iron work? Here 's what my front end looks like, see attached picture. It's not my trucck, just wanted to show the front bumper.
thanks

That is awesome! I wanted to do the same thing and get one of those JDM Surf push bars from the 96-98 trucks to cover the winch:

How's the strength up and down mostly? Seems like the only support for the rollers is the thin winch plate.
