So by googling and searching on here I know it possible to mount my winch in my oem bumpers. I have seen very few in pics, but trying to decide on what I want. Pics officially requested. I had bought a12,000lbs badlands for my Gladdy but it will now go on my tj. I know over kill, but it was cheap. Please post up some ideas!

My bumper looks a bit different, it has angles towards the jeep, and doesn’t have the two extensions. Wonder why?
If you don't mind waiting until I get back home (may be days) I can get you some. Until then, these are a couple I have on my phone.
It was on it when I bought it, I'll look next time I'm home to try and find a brand.
Air flow? Undecided. It tries to get a little warm on the interstate, but idk if it's from lack of air. I don't drive on the interstate enough to diagnose.

Similar to @John Cooper, amazon mount on stock bumper. It’s a simple install. Winch to mount, mount +winch to bumper.
My bumper is shortened and the rubber bumpers are factory.
Ah I see now looks good, thanks for the pics. I believe I’m pulling trigger on this soon.

Warn winch mount. What you can't see is that I reinforced the inside of the bumper with a 1/4" steel plate and fabbed some extra L brackets to mount it better to the frame.
Homemade by Pawpaw. I think its a piece of C-channel from a trailer frame or something.
John , do you find the lack of a winch cable or rope , gives you better cooling ?
It probably wireless

He’s just a poser and just thinks the winch looks cool. Leaves all our asses stranded when we wheel too

No, no, no, no... It drains better that way!
Imho a lower profile winch like the HF 9500 and relocating the control pack under the hood makes for a much cleaner install.
