Very nice indeed. I'd be double thinking the winch though unless you plan to put it down by the hitch.

I'm thinking hes prolly gonna put the winch on a plate that will just slide into the reciever hole of the hitch. seen it done like that and its good cuz you can move your winch from the front to the back when you need to

There is another thread somewhere around here of a member that did it too a explorer or something like that and it was where the gap is for the lower grill and its like yours hitch mounted so it can be taken out whenever and stowed so no one steals it and its also hidden pretty good
