"Detours back bone" winch mount is pretty inexpensive, and solid

aftermarket winch bumper would be your best bet, but long as your bumper is strong n sturdy enough all you need is a winch plate.

You could always rig up a receiver hitch setup also, just something to think about if you didn't want to get a new bumper.

I second detours. Affordable and I think it looks pretty good retaining the stock bumper.

Unfortunately, this is probably the best picture I have of it.
