Wow, on a 96' ? Nice freaking ride, but truth be told I'd be surprised if you could do something like that without flipping the winch upside down or something like that. Have you actually SEEN a 10K or 12K winch ? They're not small and packaging something like that *between* the framerails and *under* the radiator will be like pulling one **** of a rabbit out of your a$$. I've mounted afew of them, granted I've also never spent the $$$ on a purpose built bumper or mount so maybe someone out there sells some magic but I think doing what you want will be quite the smoke & mirrow show. If you run across a bracket or bumper that works pls post a link.
