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.

 

Jeep did offer extended front bumper, with a winch behind it. You'll find the parts listed on this site. Jeep-Mopar OEM parts catalogs, Look up your year, there in PDF format. So you can down load it. http://www.xjjeeps.com/tech_referenc...section=2&ID=0
