So I took off the front of the KJ to install a front hitch to be able to wire up and install a winch. I'm quite happy to say you can't tell that I did it. Everything actually went back into place easily, the only part I was nervous about was if I drilled the two holes in the right spot or not. (I did). I don't plan on using it much but since there's not a lot of group runs up here I feel better knowing I have it if I need it. Now I have to learn to use it proper and save up to replace the steel cable.

It just looks sad like this:

Much better:

Thanks guys! The winch itself weighs about 70lbs and the cradle is probably around 30. I added a quick disconnect so it's not up there weighing it down all the time.
