Hey, I picked up an old warn winch similar to the pictures I've attached. I'm trying to keep my stock bumper as well. I know I have two bolt holes behind the bumper (in the frame) and two underneath where the tow hooks are. Are those sufficient enough to carry a winch and winch bumper? From the pictures I see, I can't really discern the modifications necessary. Any advice would be great.

I have one of these frame braces welded into the front of my frame...https://frontrangeoffroadfab.com/front-frame-brace/

I'm not sure I would trust any of those bumpers in the pictures in terms of winching, they seem more like fashion accessories, hard to see exactly how their mount points are.

 

X2 on re-enforcing winch mount to frame. Well if its just to look cool disregard. I have a trailgear winch mount for sale that some trim stock bumper to fit it and winch for a stockish look with winch.

 

I agree and suspected the pictures were more cosmetic. I'm trying to walk this fine line between keeping my stock bumper (and stock truck with just 156 km's) while adding a winch and winch bumper. I can weld passably but don't have a desire to do mods like that. Maybe I'll save the winch and winch bumper for the BJ70. I've got to use them somewhere.
