Not sure if this is newbie tech or not anyway

I have a Warn 8274 winch. It works great, problem is mounting. I havent found a front bumper to support how it mounts. It is upright and then bolts on the front not the bottom

I made my last one, it worked, but wasnt the prettiest. I'm all about function over form but this jeep doesnt have the ruggedness that my wagon had. So I'd like something a little more appealing to the eyes

Any ideas or pics anyone has of how they mounted this winch or one similar?

Last time I saw an 8274 mounted to a rig it had a custom tube bumper and was mount through that.

Actually, come to think of it, the rig had a tube front end.

AHH I see. I think they call that "foot mounted" or something like that. Sorry for the pic.. I'll delete it. I haven't seen any bumpers on a ZJ with that winch.
