Default Winch install behind the bumper.

Recently installed a 12k winch behind the bumper. Since synergy ord discontinued there winch mounts few years ago. I drew one up out of paper. A co worker recently bought a plasma cutting table. He cut this from 1/4” steel and welded together for me. Had 4 made as other site im on had 50 tell me there were interested. Only one followed thru. Anyway. Here’s some pics and info. So installed new black bumper and new graphite lower valance. No more chrome bumper and space blue valance

Really nice clean install. A hidden winch like that has been on my wish list for a long time, but I've never moved forward with it.

Blacked out the grill and all front end chrome. Added oem fog/driving lights and wired to an oem factory fog/headlight switch

Looks really good! However, I can promise you if you spend much time offroad, that valance will disappear piece by piece until you remove it or it is all gone. Ask me how I know.
