Front Bumper w/Winch
I took my stock front bumper and reinforced it with 1 1/2" angle iron bolted and welded across the top and bottom. I also added upright bracing on the backside. I ran the bumper this way with a front reciever for a multi mount winch and used it for 9 years on my '88 XJ(RIP). After mounting this setup on my '99 XJ I acuired a 9K Warn winch and mount. After rebuilding and painting the winch I installed the winch mount in the bumper. I used a metal blade in a circular saw to cut the bumper and welded, braced, and bolted the mount to the bumper. I also cut 4" pieces from an extra bumper to relpace the plastic end caps and give more protection.

What winch plate did you use? I've been searching for a solution to using the stock bumper but didnt want to fork over the money for a back bone. Shoot me a PM. I've got more questions
