If a guy were to acquire an extra crossmember for the transfer case, install it to the rear, swap the driveshafts front to rear so as to not need those 2 reworked. It would gain plenty of space for the auxiliary, which would mount to the existing crossmember. Very factory look. Only shortcoming that I can see is that the shorter shaft on the rear would have a slightly greater angular motion, wearing u-joints slightly sooner. If you send me your auxilliary, I'll try it on mine and tell you how it works out.
