[QUOTE="Speartip, post: 458491, member: 23341"] If purchasing a no name brand from Amazon try and get a pic of the winch mount . The PO put on my current front bumper . There is space to mount the winch but the winch mount is only welded to the bumper. There is no bracket connecting winch directly to the frame rails. The bumper itself looks good, tough 3/16 thick, quality welds. Just designed poorly when it came to mounting a winch. Its why I'm not rockin one yet. Trying to decide if i should modify this one or get a bumper with proper winch mount. The quality brands have a plate that will extend to the frame rails and bolt up where the bumper attaches. As beefy as my bumper is dont want to find out the hard way that current winch platform is sub par. There can be extraordinary stresses placed on gear when winching yourself or someone else out of of a jam. [/QUOTE]
