It would not be hard to fab up some 1/4" plate and weld it to the sides or box around those little frame horns that are up there. I considered it with my winch-mount but it was easier to just weld on top of them...they are pretty sturdy.

If it were me i would weld them on there extending out 4-6 inches and then make the mounts from there for the bumper. I still have yet to see any fatiguing or stress cracks from winching from my mount the way it is and have done straight sideways winch pulls to get me off a tree. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

It sucks that there is really literally NOTHING behind that Tupperware on the front. Oh well...makes for a better approach angle heheh cause it flexes. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
