86 6.9 4x4 All original.

So as some of you know I’m wheelchair bound so hence why I’m looking for a quick easy way rather than me fussing around on the ground for a day or two.
I have that harbor freight winch plate mount and a Warn 10k. Now I’m not looking for a you should do this or buy that kinda answer just a quick pic of how you mounted one or something something similar. I’m gunna use the original bumper. I’m not required to have a front plate on my truck. I have welders, tools, mill and a lathe and a plasma cutter all in my garage. Yes I could I could fiddle and figure it out on my own but I’m just looking for a quick easy way to do it so I don’t have to crawl around on the ground since I’m paralyzed from the knees down.

Any help or pics are much appreciated. And it will probably be myself and @Nero doing the work. I found out he likes beer so I just dangle one from the back of my wheelchair to get him over to the house.

Fast n greasy, find a front receiver mount for the truck, do a receiver cradle for the winch.

Second
Will require pics of bumper and winch mount.
I'm watching this one for you...

Yeah I thought about doing a front receiver. If I do I’ll probably just weld a receiver tube to the bottom of the winch mount. Not really the main concern at the moment. And to clarify I don’t have a dying need for the winch to be mounted I’m just tired of staring at a brand new winch in a box sitting on the shelf in my garage.

Slice the center of the bumper to accept the winch and gusset at will.
The more actual frame connected to it the better...

A little bit of inspiration from the Rubicon Trail

Put my grey 83 above, up that same line...

Unless I am missing something in that picture, that is not strong enough.
