The fairlead looks to low for it to be the factory setup.

It used a special 6000-lb Ramsey winch that was a little different so it could be oriented the right way to fit.

 

Here is the install directions: http://www.ramseypdfs.com/owners_sea...s/295153-D.pdf

Thats what one looks like...

 

I have seen them in the accsesory catalog and the parts catalog with all the required parts before but never saw a pic of one.

 

Your pic shows the factory filler panels and everything. I'll have to check my e-fiche and see if it still shows it.

How much did that cost as a factory option? I have seen it in my owners manual, but I have never actually seen one on a Jeep. I figured they would have been more common, I can't imagine buying a brand new MJ and NOT getting the factory winch put on.

I have never seen a factory hidden winch in the U.S. -- ever.

 

When I visit my wife's family in Santiago, Chile -- they're everywhere. Mostly on Cherokees, but I did see one Comanche a couple of years ago that had the winch.

maybe Ramsey found a market outside the US at that time?

 

They're fairly common up here.
