I got this bumper from a friend it severs its purpose but "NEEDS" some tweaking I have an Idea but looking for/need more suggestions.
So here's pictures of the beast its a freak'n battering ram.

It extendes almost 11 inches from the center of the grill

This is what I am thinking about for mounting short of getting new brackets. I put the stock tow hook bracket over the bumper bracket. The stock tow hook braket has 2 or 3 holes that arent on the body, I am thinking I could drill them out and add extra bolts.

Before the winch sat right in front of the grill this is how I am cutting it, only took me 3 cut off wheels to get this far

I want to save/reuse as much of the bumper as I can, I want the winch lower and I want to tuck it in closer to the body.
 
as big and heavy as that thing looks, you could probably get enough cash by scapping it and get some new steel to work with
