Okay, so I wasn't sure if I should post it in here or in the KJ 4x4 discussion area, but here is my request...

I searched here high and low looking for a winch mount without a metal bumper and only found one that was mounted upside down and concealed (that I wasn't real crazy about).

So if you've mounted your winch (preferably on an 03 style bumper) using the factory plastic bumper and some type of fabricated winch mount. Please post up pics or links to your build. I'm trying to get ideas in case I go that route. Ultimately I'd prefer to go with and ARB winch bumper, but it's not in the budget right now.

So, could you please help me out???

Thanks!

Our KJ has a Detours Backbone winch mount.
A beautifully engineered piece of hardware.
Not difficult to install.
Here's a link to some photo's of it:

Hmmm...... glad I looked in on this.

I'm not really looking to mount a winch, but this does give me a viable option
for what I'd like to achieve.

Front recovery points, sturdy construction, & should be easy enough to modify
to suit my purposes.
