I recently installed the winch and it's ready for recovery. I incorporated a skid pate into the winch plate which does sit below the bumper but has little affect on the approach angle. The winch plate sits directly on the frame rails and still needs tweaking in the future. The edges are 90 degree angles and stick out a bit from the rounded bumper but I may end up using the corners for a small stinger bar. Here's a couple pics... I thought I uploaded more to photobucket but can't find them for whatever reason.






Today I continued building SFIFS kits. My initial test fits are working well and I'll be able to test it thoroughly in Moab.
