Convert ARB non-winch to winch?

Anyone know if it is possible to convert an 2nd gen 4Runner ARB non-winch bumper to a winch mount? I don't know anyone with a winch mount version of my bumper so I can't easily do a side by side comparison. I assume it would be a whole lot easier to just buy a winch mount but I just thought I'd ask.

I do not see why it could not be converted by a fab shop.
All you need is the hole for it, the back support, and the front support.

I could be mistaken but I believe your non-winch version has a thinner profile. here's a shot of the inside of that model bumper.

Yeah I have a feeling the non winch one might not be as strong since it would not require the support a winch-capable one would, but I could be wrong .
