Lloyd Swartz bolted a 1/2" plate to the frame rails behind the front bumper then mounted his winch to that. With this setup, all that's needed is a clean hole & fairlead in the stock bumper. Also no additional reinforcements are required at the bumper unless the winch output does not line up with the hole. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
