since one member from the snorkel wars thread asked me to start a new thread on my hidden winch mount on my 2003 taco, here it is, well actually just a link to a full thread on TTORA - http://ttora.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14884&highlight=hidden+winch+mount
and for all the pics use this link, cause some of the links in the ttora thread are not working, - http://s30.photobucket.com/albums/c320/ua_taco/winch plate and winch and lights/
plus I thought by making this a general vehicle thread other people could add any hidden winch set-ups they or somebody else have on different vehicles
in my opinion haviong a hidden winch has a couple advantages: no heavy winch bumper adding extra weight, lower cost than buying a winch bumper, and ofcourse that stealth factor and some disadvantages: no heavy winch bumper for front protection, stock vehicle look (depending on taste obviously it can be disadvantage or advantage), need for custom fabrication
