    I've read a lot of threads and looked at several winch mounts but do not want to have to cut my bumper and do not want to disable the safety features (adaptive cruise) but I do like this:

    any options I've missed?

    If you really want a winch, look at one of the hidden mounts. You can get by with just cutting a hole in the black bumper mask and not the whole bumper.

    I think the warn still requires very minimal cutting in hidden areas. But check me on that because I’m not 100%.

    I've been doing some research out there as well and I'm looking at the CBI hidden mount. I like the look, minimal cutting, and from what I can tell, all safety features still work.

    That is good looking but that’s not their hidden mount. That’s the covert bumper with the bolt on light bar.
