Don't know of any mounts for stock bumbers but you could get a front receiver hitch and use a winch cradle or have someone fab something up for you.

I've never seen a pic, or an advertisement, of a ZJ with the stock front bumper w/a winch attached. That doesn't mean there isn't such a product, just that I haven't seen one. If you find one please post pics.
*Note: If it isn't attached to the tow-hook attachment points and possibly extended further rearward along the sub-frame rail, I don't think it would serve the intended purpose. JMO

It looks like it just bolts to the front inner bumper/crossmember and I doubt that'd be strong enough since it's sheet metal.
