I will hand make the first one to get it right. I think this is a n issue with a lot of winches. I can't remember the brand, I saw it on 4wd TV when I used to watch it, and that winch had the extended section, but was part of the body.. I do know though that the TJM winch I have you can buy the motor plate and gear plate easily off eBay. So they just use a generic mounting plate.
