I have been all over for some time trying to come up with a solution to adding a winch and keeping my stock bumpers. Wagunner and a few others here on the forum have a good plan but I needed something already made that would help me accomplish this. WARN and Go Rhino are apparently not interested and fabricating my own is not going to be an option as I do not have access to the tools to do so and I refuse to buy them for just this project.
During my most recent search I found a plate fabricated by a guy in California that also has a 4th Gen himself and he has made a few extra for sale. He has paired his up with a WARN ZEON 12-S winch and states it is only setup for a winch with the synthetic rope at this time. This series winch from WARN has the wireless remote that lets you engage/disengage the clutch so there is no climbing under the truck to release so you can free spool. With the winch being hidden it is going to be hard to access this function. I do think this is going to be the perfect solution for me.

I ordered the plate from him already however with the price of the winch I am going to be bit out on ordering the 12-S. Install and such will be delayed as I refuse to charge this project.
Share your thoughts and if you happen to be in the market, this may be your ticket to getting that winch installed. He stated he currently has 9 left but will fab more if needed but you'd have to wait for the builds to be completed. Did not mention time though. Click the link below for the auction as he does have a few pics to give an idea of the setup.
