Ive seen someone on here put a winch on their frame with lots of brackets and my buddy did it with a homemade crossmember that replaced he front one. So i know it can be done but i was thinking about putting one to the frame then putting a flairend out of the stock bumper. (A few cherokees had the bumper option) The winch would be hidden though so id have to cut a latch into the bumper in order to reach the winch to use it.

My question is has anyone seen something for sale that i can but that allows me to mount the winch to the frame or will i have to get some custom made brackes and crossmember?

AJ's offroad has the bracket you need to build your own bumper

Custom always looks better

Im just woundering where i could buy a crossmember that could hold a winch. Im goin to run the flairend out the stock bumper. I want to keep the stock bumper without going to a backbone

Theres some thread were guy hid a winch inside his stock bumper, he had to extend his bumper out a bit but it lookd pretty good, maybe u coukd buy winch plate for a wrangler and mod it some how

That might work, im only goin to get an XRC8 so its not a really big winch.
