You would definitely have to do a custom mount to get back in on the frame for strength.

Jigg Is working on a hidden mount for the winch. Right now it is for Zr2's but I believe he is gonna prototype one for non Z's

If you like having a brushguard and one that you can mount a winch to the Warn Trans4mer is your only option. Another option would be to mount two 2" receivers where your tow hooks currently are (see Jigg [Justin] for these!). Then you canfab up a winch mount that fits in the receivers. Another option is to mount a front 2" receiver and then get the mobile winch mount. With the last option, providing you have a hitch on the back, you can move the winch from front to back as needed. Of course, you'd have to run the cable to the back for this.
