i would suggest a winch bumper that replaces the rear crossmember so you know its solid

don't forget these to add strength to chassis...........

i did ask for a warn 9.5xp but apparently there was some clearance issues, oh and that hitch block is also attached to the chassis.
have lots more photos if needed.

Ahh, I see where the mod was done now, it looks so good in the pics you would think it was factory. Thanks Peter

I've got a superb rear winch bumper for a TJ, I'll dig it out and bring it to Cheapfest

I'm not sure if its for sale (depends if I keep the TJ or not), thought you might want to measure it etc to fab your own
