Tossing around the idea of a adding winch this summer. NOT replacing the full bumper, unless a super deal falls into my lap for a used ARB or Rovertym.

I've seen Urban Panzer's (previous) setup on his site but he has since "upgraded" to an ARB, so I wanted to see if anyone else was running a hidden winch, and what your thoughts were about the pros and cons. Pictures are encouraged

Thanks in advance!

 

The only disadvantage is you don't have the protection or recovery points a bumper provide. For the occasional off roader I think it's a good idea

 

You will still need to do a lift cause a winch will pull that front end down to low and defeat the whole purpose.

 

Were you selling yours only because you found a good deal on an ARB?

Already done (see signature)

 

Yeah, if I kept my stock brush guard and I didn't bust my bumper up I would have used the tray. If you have access to a welder you can easily make a tray.
