Mounting a winch with stock front bumper?

Oh I didn't even see you'd mentioned this setup or I would have quoted you.

I think I used this guide to get me started, but once you dig in you'll figure it all out without instructions. Couple of tips, if you decide to tackle it; 2012+ you'll need to order the vaccuum pump relocation kit from or-fab or teraflex ahead of time. Do your metal cutting away from the Jeep, mine was covered in specs of rust stains for months until I finally got out the rubbing compound. I also used the HF 12k winch ($300), and just tore the solenoid box apart, sealed the solonoid pack up with sillicone, and remote mounted it myself (you can actually see the pack in my driver's side grill slot if you look closely, as I did not extend the wiring, there was a pin there for the grill shroud, I just used that to hold it in place). Further, I would NOT recommend the HF winch, but I won't get into that in your thread.

Also, like I said... upside down sucks for mud:
