Yeah, please post the install details. Is there a write-up on installing the winch in the stock bumper? What model winch did you use? Parts and process??

I think it looks good. I like the hidden look. IMO: I would let the fairlead come through the plastic. I would also look into buying the stock tow hooks and put those on, instead of that O hook you have. just my thoughts. Looks real good though!

There is already a thread in this forum for installing a winch in the stock bumper. That is where I got all the information for the install. However, I did add some spacers to the mount so I could attach the roller fairlead to the very front of the bumper. The thread has really good photos to go along with the details of the install.

Here is the link to that thread: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...factory-bumper
