Hello i'm a n00b lol - winch?

[JLBoucher]

That title makes me look like i'm 12 year-old in 1999.

Anyway. I'm totally, but I mean, totally new to off-roading. The only off-roading i've done was with a 1988 Hyundai Excel in a sand pit, when I was 17. I let guess how it ended.

So yeah. I drive a '21 2DR Willys and i'm interested to know more about installing a winch.

Is it possible to do it on the stock bumper? I rephrase: SHOULD I do it on the stock bumper?

I feel like a visitor at Cap Canaveral who asks the astronaut "SiR, hOw Do YoU rOcKeT - mUcH vOmiT?!"

Rock Hard 4x4 sells a winch plate for use with the factory plastic bumper.

Thank you, kind sir! Did you purchase it? If so, what are the results?

Nope, I just came across it the other day.

That'll be on my Willys.

There are better solutions than that for the stock bumper. You can't use your tow hooks at all and it looks like an afterthought.
I saw somewhere on here someone did a better job.

is there a mounting bracket for plastic bumper that once installed, the winch sets behind the bumper as with the steel bumper?
