No, because the winch mount is not designed for it. However, there have been a couple of mine modified for the 8274. You will need to cut the grill out and do some fabwork to modify it.

Funny. I was searching for some winch comparo info and came across this thread. Funny because I bought the 4Runner in the original post off of RiNky a year ago April.
The bumper is definitely tough and I went with the 4Crawler Turn Signal Elimination Mod, but I do have one complaint. There is no room for a winch. I had to hack out a lot of the grille around the control box and even around the clutch lever to get an average sized winch to fit.
Take a look:
Not sure why there isn't more space...
Otherwise, its a great setup.
EDIT - difficult to see, but the control box is sunk in a square shaped hole I cut out about 1.5". Note the vertical rib in the grille is over the control box.

FWIW, I have never had to cut the grill for a non-integrated solenoid. Even on my 3rd gen bumpers. You just need to get more creative for mounting the solenoid box.
And, that free spool handle is really long.
I'm guessing this is a BIG winch.

Superwinch LP8500 - 8500# standard entry-level (I would call it) winch. I think this has been discontinued by now.
Yeah I could have custom wired a lot of things, but why is that necessary? I'm not trying to pick a fight...the bumper is very well made. Its strange to me though that a model specific bumper can't fit a standard sized winch on the winch plate without a Dremel. But you are right, with a little creativity, some fab work, and some wiring, I could have left the grille intact. I just didn't expect it.
As far as the lever goes, that's what came with it. This truck is not a show vehicle. It's now destined for a life of weekend warrior rock crawling duties. If I wanted pretty, I would have mod'd the install for sure.
This whole thing came up because I have the opportunity to swap out my winch with a buddy who is selling his Jeep with a Warn XD9000i (a much better winch). After taking some measurements, I would need a sawz'all to get that to fit in the provided mounting holes. There are other bigger complications as to why I'm not doing the swap though.

The solenoid box can be mounted anywhere you want. Even in the engine bay if needed.
