Need OEM/OEM Mount Winch Mount

[Dissent]

I'd like to put a winch on my truck in the future but won't be getting a bumper for awhile. I'd like to find a winch plate that will bolt into the frame rails. Looking for OEM or OEM style mount. I can modify the bumper but I need a mount. Any ideas?

Harbor Freight (or similar generic)winch plate with a chop saw and a good drill bit. Center it, trim to the width of the frame rails, drill out themounting holes, and mount to the tow point hardware. Trim your stock bumper to accommodate the fairlead, or use a cutoff wheel to zip the whole thing in half from end to end. I ran a winch for a year like this.

@ChaseTruck did a clean job using a factory front bumper.

Perfect, thank you both for the references. When I do this, I'm starting with the Badland winch so the HD mount makes sense.
