    I have 2000 Tacoma prerunner 2wd and want to install a hidden winch behind front bumper. Anyone got any tips or ‘how to’ for this project? Thanks to all once again.

    I installed the AMP winch mount also. Very simple. Cutting the stock bumper was the most complicated part.

    they have a youtube install video that is really all you need.

    I don't have it, but everyone that uses the one from AMP'd Up are very happy. Plus the owner is a very cool person.
