Thanks everyone. If I were to do it over again, I would make the winch load from the front instead of through the top. Less lifting that way.

Brian, you're the second person to comment about the bolts, I need to get a picture from the front. There are actually 8 bolts holding it on, with the option of a 9th. There are 4 in tension and 4 in shear and the front captured nuts have been reinforced with a 1/4" plate like the front range plate.

On a side note, it's fricken tough to find metric graded bolts around here. I had to special order from Fastenal and they only had those allen head bolts.

I also need to figure out a way to lock it down, not sure if the standard lockable hitch pins are long enough.
