Now lets see what you can come up with for a hidden winch.

I would totally buy a kit off you (or would pay for the CAD files and get everything cut locally)

Little more complicated than that..
Most of the seams you see are formed on a brake press.

And I'm just not ready to release it yet.
There is another version of the bumper that would fit any winch, and gives more clearence on the sides

Hehe. Just kidding. Is your company going to be selling a XJ Winch front bumper? I'm in the market to replace stock and was looking at JCR fronts.

Edit: Read the other posts and got current. If ya ever sell one, drop me a note.
