You want pics from the inside? There's not much there, it's kinda a piece of pipe that runs from the front of the frame (both sides), and up to the center front of the upper body. Hard to take pics of it, but I will try tomorrow if I get a chance.

The Winch Mount, or the HDI Conversion?

sorrry guys i was lazy i did an search of the old post and found it.I will have to redo the loop mine is all bent up but everthing less winch is there.May do a little beefing up of the loop it seems kinda weak to me.

[Rock Doctor]

Yes and no. It SEEMS kinda weak but I have stalled my 4200# winch with a snatch block while pulling without damaging my machine.
Does your machine have a row of wide headed rivets across the upper front of the machine? Between the headlights, just above where the winch will mount? I have seen a few of those pop out when pulling hard, but that's about it.

I have a winch and brush guard on my 2011, and it all seems to tie in stoutly to the main frame, not just in the center.

[reichstall]

mine ties in to two points on front of frame looks like 3/4 tubing but no center brace which is where it is bent so a little press work to straighen and a center bace tied tooo? and i think it will be fine will be doing a reciever hitch mount so it can be moved to the back proubly end up dropping it a bit below center.not sure why they would put it up high.but hey it will work out

... not sure why they would put it up high. ...

So water doesn't get in.

[reichstall]

no i will mod receiver front plate to accept a winch plate mounted to trailer hicth mat.than just swap out front or back while i had frame i reweld new back tube in plus redid plate so i know it is good.
