The way the front bumper, etc. is setup it looks like it might be a tough item to install.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

I have not installed yet, but I have been looking at some options on a bull bar I saw on ebay that will install many light to mid-duty winches including Warn.

Check out this web site for an aftermarket front bumper with winch. Not sure on cost or how easy to install. I just thought it looks like it does the trick and looks nice as well.

I've ordered a WARN M8000 installed on my FJ Cruiser with the ARB bull bar. The GVWR is 5570lb on a FJ cruiser so the M8000 should be effective enough. The mechanic told me the bull bar plus the winch will add an addition 100lbs. to the front, but it should not effect the vehicle as I was told (I was strongly emphasizing if I needed new suspensions in front to accommodate the weight). Because the weight is not significantly different, it should be fine. I'll remember to post pictures and share my experience once I get it installed.
