GX460 Hidden Winch Mount
Not sure how many are interested but here is some pictures from the hidden winch mount I recently installed in my 2013 GX460.

Looks good!!! Good to know there is room in there. Nice WARN winch. That is the only brand I have ever used on my Wrangler and my quads. My father still uses the one he put on is old '80 Chevy pickup back in 1981.

Yeah I have a 2014 JKU and I have the same winch minus all the fancy wireless controls. It has been rock solid with no issues. You can't beat the speed and reliability of a WARN.

I like it. I also like when people put on a drop down license plate in front, then 100% hidden

After looking at this again I am curious what this is. It is in the plastic bumper so I don't see how this would be support for the wench and the small grille bar is added.
Thanks, cool setup!

HitchCrack: Do you think the aluminum bumper is strong enough to support the fairlead if one was winching from an extreme angle? That aluminum doesn't seem the strongest from what I have seen on mine and seems to be more for impact collapse in accidents.

Ah, I don't recall seeing it before the bumper mod.

I forgot about that conversion... that negates my concern about the aluminum bumper as that is removed with a MetalTech install like that.

lol yes those were for a 10" led bar I had on the bumper. I didn't get it mounted back up before these pictures were taken.
