Winch

I'm looking for any pictures of semi-hidden winch set-ups. I purchased a Warn set-up, but haven't seen alot of these done.

I have searched high and low for different options for mounting a winch to the front of my 02. I like the Warn Hidden winch but really don't want to cut up the plastic under the bumper. That and due to the design the winch drum is offset to the side. I'm overly **** when it comes to cosmetics of modifications to vehicles. Heck it took nearly 8 months of working with the fabricator for the winch bumper on my old Grand Cherokee. But it looked great in the end.

I've settled on the Transformer mount for my truck if I ever decide to put a winch on the truck. However that setup is not cheap once you add it all up. Finally found a guy locally that had the Warn Transformer setup on his F150. Final inspection convinced me this would be the cleanest option for me. Short of custom built.

Keep searching for pictures. I think I have found a total of 3 trucks with some sort of hidden winch setup. Not all to common.
