You would have to do major beefing up to mount it to the clip.The clip isn't that strong , trust me on this , I just finished changing them off when I did my project and there aren't that many bolts that hold it on , even then they aren't very big.If you went to use a winch with it mounted on there , you would do major damage.The winch should be mounted to a very strong bumper that is soild to the frame.The frame is what takes all of the force with the winching , and if you use something not up to the task of all that force , you will find out very quickly what can or will happen <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

My advice is just wait untill you can get a nice strong bumper mounted on there.When they did the mounting point for my bush bar with winch mount , they used very heavy steel , I think its 3/4" and bolted it and welded it to the frame.I then have 6 I believe 3/8 bolts holding the bush bar on , and they are grade 8 or grade 10 bolts.The bolts are also mounted to the mount points right off the frame , so its very solid.
