are there any winch carriers that can be installed so that the winch is under and hidden by the factory bumper?
 
not knowing the vehicle i can only say on my pickup...

wow no one told ya... yeah there are some out there.... hard to find as they are old school... i personally like them alot... but with the new baha bumpers and road armor bumpers.... seems hidden isnt around anymore..

you could do what im doing... just go buy metal and fab one up...

i have a ramsey patriot 15,000lb winch between my rear frame rails...
and going to do a hydraulic up front hopefully soon!!!!

few pics of rear....

12" wide C channel... 3/8 i think... and 35" long... cut flat on end and mounted to frame....
