winch with factory bumper...

wicked sorry if this is a repeat question. i looked around a bit and couldnt find anything on it. im wondering if there is enough room for a winch with a stock bumper, obviously with a few modifications. im trying to make my truck not stick out.

 

Yes

 

I believe you will need the mount Sdhq or warn sells to make it work

 

any recommendations on a winch? im partial to Warn.

 

Can’t go wrong with warn

Smittybilt is great bang for your buck

 

i agree. i had a warn on my jeep. it never let me down. thanks for the insight

yah dood. im up here in NH

 

Welcome from next door in Vermont!

 

SDHQ makes a nice one.





Otherwise there are hybrid bumpers that use the existing OEM bumper. Southern Style Offroad, Victory 4x4, P&P Engineering, and Warn all make this style.

 

For the hybrid bumper, it can be made with out the bull bar, to help blend in a bit more. Feel free to PM me if you're interested.

 

The SDHQ hidden winch mount is the best I have found. I run it on my truck. It is incredibly overbuilt and an excellent piece of hardware.

 

Word.

You need more lights!!!

 

You can use the sdhq hidden winch mount as @Vector W8 and @DarthMurdicide have done but change it up a bit. Buy a piece of 1/4 steel plate and weld hitch receiver tube to it. Bolt that to the hidden winch mount instead of a winch. Use a hitch mount for the winch and you can use it on the front/rear. Be sure to add gussets on the sides of the tube for pulls at an angle. Best part is the license plate will completely cover it. Have all the parts in my garage just haven’t gotten around to install it yet.

 

I like the slimline type bumpers like the Southern Style Offroad and the others with the same style but they don't work with the 2nd gen bumper unless one of them have come out with a new one. If you want that sort of style the only one for the 2nd gen trucks is the Demello https://www.demello-offroad.com/tundra-winch-plate-2007-2013
