Warn hidden winch

Anybody have or seen one of these? I'm thinking about getting one partly because my garage space is tight and it doesn't stick out beyond the stock bumper. Opinions?

Thanks

I have known a couple of folks with similar hidden mounts...not necessarily an F150 version. None of the complaints that I have heard would be pertinent to your application. In one case the major complaint was in how far the bumper gets moved forward (~5"). In the other case the owner had ran into cooling issues towing his 5th wheel toy hauler, as the winch blocked a fair amount of wind to the lower part of the radiators.

Aside from that, the hidden winch mount kits do what they were designed to do...I have never heard any complaints about that aspect.
