Lets see what your winch set up looks like! I've seen them mounted on brush guards to hidden behind the bumper. Lets see what you got!

 

I'll second this thread. I too have been wanting a winch, but I don't like the looks of a full blown brush guard.

 

i will post a pic of mine today.

 

i created a photobucket account and have the image on the account but not sure how to get it over to this site.

 

Copy and past the link that has the [img] tags around it.

 

There's a quick pic i got today of my winch mount/set up.

 

Local guy here builds bumpers, This isnt my truck obviously, but I'm having him build me one soon as taxes come in.... However mine will just be the lower, wont have the brush gaurd part on the top.



Im thinking about just a light hoop/bar on the top though like on this taco



Also, he told me he can spray them w/ liner in most colors to match, so mine will be tan like my 2tone.

 

Yeah if i felt like forking over the cash i woulda got one of those. It will look good though man.

 

yeah he aint cheap...... gonna be about $1000 said and done but, it will be as strong or stronger than those $1600 road armors for a lot cheaper. And no shipping! And free installation. haha...

It defeats the purpose of your question BUT, he'll build the bumper non-winch ready for cheaper.
