Imp front winch mount?

I have a Warn winch to put on the front of my Imp.
Anyone have any photos or a factory winch mount diagram.
There's not a lot of framework in the front for mounting.

No winch but my new DMC1450 had a blade on the front, looks to be a fair bit of square frame underneath that you could fab onto

Just make sure you run mounting platform off the main tub's frame, I dont think you want it to rip out while using it...

The yellow Imp in the picture is what I'm going for.
My Imp has nothing up front now. Here's a picture of mine.

My winch is smaller. Warn 8000 lb electric.
Not really much of a frame. Lots of 1x1 angle with sheet metal.
The rear pintle hitch frame mounts with sandwich plates on the tunnel.
Here's more photos of the front with the cover off and hitch.

I don't need a 1404 right now but if I did I'd get this one and save myself a bunch of time, money, and effort. No way you could rebuild it like this for that kind of money. Probably get rid of all that extra heavy junk hanging off it though.
