Just curious if you ever received the winch mount? If so, how'd it turn out?

What a coincidence UPS just delivered it. After I unbox it I will take some pics. As a sidebar I did install a Proline front bumper primarily because it got here first and required NO cutting of stock front unit so it is possible to go backwards if I want to

Any update on this? I would love to know how it turned out.

Me too. Trying to figure out a hidden winch mount. Thanks!
ACC in Atlanta put a winch behind the grill of an LX. Have several pics on their Facebook page.

Does the mount extend back to the frame rails and how is it attached? Is it just bolted to the aluminum crush bar?

I fell off my chair when they told me how much they want to build another hidden winch mount.

OK I'll bite... how much?
I know this thread is pretty old, but I’m new - just picked up my 2018 200 after years of Grand Cherokees-
I’d like to get a Warn Zeon 12,000 up front but it looks like the ARB bumpers stick out like a foot more than stock?! Is there any lower profile option out in the market?
I’d like a tried and true over a custom job. Last thing is need is being buried up to the sliders and having the winch tear off.
Thanks.

Too many cruisers, not enough time
I ordered one directly from ASFIR. Exchange rate was favorable and it was less then $500 including shipping. This is the same hidden winch mount Carl from JT's mounted on his white 200 series.
Local shop mounted it for me, they did not indicate there were any problems with the fit, and they simply cut the bumper cover to fit over the hawse fairlead (synthetic line on my winch) so that the cover looks stock. You will have to decide how to reach the clutch lever, and I purchased a Warn winch with a wireless clutch operated remotely so that I did not need to provide other access. Carl simply cut his lower grill slightly to reach the clutch lever.

Thanks for that. (Excuse the NEWB) - is ASFIR a company, a forum member?
Very clean!

ASFIR is a manufacturer in Israel. JT's was carrying their products but said the shipping was prohibitive so they stopped carrying it but told me I could call them direct. I looked them up on the web and sent an email and received an immediate response from them, and had the product in my garage two weeks later.
OMG - This is it!! Thank you! Jason from there emailed me right back. Awesome!200 Series Hidden Winch Mount

Jason provides awesome customer service and top notch work I have his sliders and I've been eyeing this winch mount as well. I saw where Jason went back and forth with a customer on building the winch mount to get it dialed in so I would have peace of mind knowing Jason would make it right if something didn't line up over something ordered from overseas.
