Hi all, great site, been searching and lurking for a while.
I am about to do something like this:

Except, I want to mount the winch upside down so that it rolls on to the top of the drum -- this puts the fairlead 4.5" higher than in the picture above. I will then re-fit the stock bumper like this guy did.
It's not that I want to keep the stock look or hide the winch, I just like tha location, and don't want to give up too much approach angle (I am only lifted about 4" on 31s).
Tell me why I can't do this... I know that the clutch handle can be clocked around to be on the bottom (the new top) of the winch... any other reason the winch won't be happy upside down?
Thanks!
