Hidden Winch options for 2008 4Runner

[majmattmason]

After looking through the past posts, I don't find too much about the possibility of a hidden winch on a 2008 4Runner V8 4x4 Limited.

Is there any room using the standard bumper or would I have to replace and use one of the aftermarket offerings? I would consider the front hitch mount idea before replacing the entire bumper as I don't really like the looks of the aftermarket stuff.

Anyone have one or have a suggestion?

I have this setup on my 2007 V8 Sport and it works great! Check it out!

You use stock bumper, only mod is to cut out a 4 inch square for receiver hitch.

This is for front bumper! Rear bumper I would just go with standard hitch, and mount it on a ARB, or Smittyblt platform.

There is plenty of room behind the bumper. Google your thread title and select images. Here is one I like.
