For awhile I have been going back and forth on a front bumper. I keep going back and forth between running a receiver or a full winch bumper. I need to leave this jeep parked overnight a lot of times at work and would love...when I am not wheeling to be able to leave the winch at home.
At the same time I really really hate the look of a winch mounted on a receiver. They stick out too far usually and just look(even though I know they aren't) flimsy.
So....here is my idea. Instead of using one 2X2 inch hole I was thinking of using two. About a foot apart.
Then around the winch mount have the bottoms and sides angled to match the look of the bumper itself. So if it was mounted it would angle down into the bumper itself and look like a true winch bumper when it was hooked together.
Does this sound feasible? I know it would make it more cumbersome if you were packing it around but I don' think I would. It would most likely not be on or inside the jeep at all if I was going places I wouldn't need a winch...IE work, the mall, getting food from Del Taco. But if I was wheeling it would be permanently mounted to the jeep.
