ARB Bumper -- which winch?

I recently put an ARB bumper on my '99 XJ. Mounting it was not too hard, and it certainly is a well-made unit. However....

Like a lot of off-road accessories I've purchased, the written instructions really suck. They kind of tell you what to do with a fairlead, but ideas about winch mounting are left to the installer's imagination.
In photos of the bumper in catalogs and magazines I've seen a Warn winch installed with the remote solenoid box mounted above the bumper and the winch inside. No clue what model Warn it was, though.
Also, most winches I've used have a lever of some sort on the right side that chooses engage or free-wheel. I see no place (hole) to access that lever on the bumper the way it is. Am I supposed to use a hole saw and drill an access hole?

Anybody have experience with this popular bumper?

Thanks;

The Warn M8000 or Tabor 9000 winches will fit the ARB bumper. You have to re-clock the winch so that the lever points down.

Thanks Prepmech. Now why couldn't ARB just add those two sentences to their instructions? But I guess I could be charged with a: :doh:
