Brushguard Mounted Winch?

HAS ANYONE SEEN A BRUSHGUARD THAT WILL HOLD A WINCH FOR THE '01?
I WOULD LIKE TO GET A TJM/ARB, BUT THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT MY "i" SERIES WINCH AND ARE OUT OF MY PRICE RANGE FOR THE TIME BEING...

Nearly every other truck has one of those here in Wyoming. They LOOK to be a pretty decent product. The other half have "regular" guards!

Years ago then the Warn brush guard with winch mount, or the Warn bumper was about the only choices there were, lots of my friends had the brush guard winch mounts. We found that bumping into any sapling would bend it, and the add-on guards would hit the fenders causing damage. They were just too flimsy and the bolt together design was weak. So when I put the winch on my 85 I built my own. It was the strongest thing on the truck.... A lot of the current ones are for show and have no substance, so look closely at them before buying. The question to ask yourself is "Would I suspend my truck completely up in the air with this?" If you hesitate at all to trust it that much, don't buy it. Also look closely at how it attaches. The strongest winch mount in the world bolted to the bumper for example isn't very strong. Look at the ARBs pulling their mounts apart...
