    So i'm finishing my frame swap and i'm at the point i need to put back the front bumper and my winch.
    Here a picture of where i am,

    here's how the front bumper was on my old frame

    With the new frame i don't have anymore steering box under the front crossmember (now over the frame) so i can lower the winch between the frame rail. I like to keep he round bar over the fairlead but i can move it.

    What do you think about lowering the winch so the fearlead will go trought the bumper i already have?

    Also i have the idea to put the round bar just like a stigner and maybe mount my aux light there...

    I'm not sure about the look it will give so that's why i'm asking. Also i other have picture or idea share it please it can be helpful.

    thank's

    Here's mine. I didn't built. Transferred it from another JEEP. I really like having the winch sunk down in, both for form and function. I like the stubby bumper on mine, as well, though it may be a bit too tall. I would be concerned with the tires rubbing the bumper with the ends angled back on yours. Personally, not crazy about the look of it, either. But, to each his own. I do like the hoop on top your bumper. Not crazy about huge stingers if you don't need them. Your hoop is subtle enough and has a purpose.

    I would definitely mount it low between the framerails if you can. You can check my build thread here for mine, "just a small project", it should be in there towards the end.
