Here is one. Not finished with it yet though, but soon. Got the spare tire carrier done in preparation for it though.

No write up per se. It is an on going project. I started with scrap from a veggie plant and went from there. The winch was on the front, then quit and now works again. I posted it mainly to illustrate that if you design the bumper from the start to tuck a winch in there it can be done and not stick out too far. It sticks out only 2-3" more than a stock bumper. I haven't wired it in as yet. The kicker is that the solenoids have to be located somewhere to pull it off.
Here it is without the winch sitting there with the spare tire carrier finished.
