    It comes down to your idea of a hidden Winch Mount and just winch your trying to hide.

    Just what do you have to work with .

    Planning on keeping the stock bumper or going after market bumper?

    @Kwikvette you remember that thread?

    OP: I'm almost certain the guy's not doing them anymore. So you're more than likely going to need a custom job. It would be a fairly straightforward build that just about any fab shop could do.

    Right? I even managed to finish my skids in that amount of time...

    No. You lost me when you bought that 4runner. You're dead to me.
