What Brown said on fairleads.

You may not have to replace your bumper if cost is an issue. If it's one that won't interfere with the winch operation what I did was get a mounting plate only and then use some 3 1/2x3 1/2x 3/8" angle, weld in a gusset (if you don't weld it's a 5 min job for someone at your local shop), and drill 2 holes for the bolts and one for the shackles. Bolts straight through the frame at the ends of the winch plate. They're big holes but it can be done with a hand drill and oil in just a few minutes each.

Of course those rock-crushing bumpers do look cool. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
