I'm probably going to make a receiver mount plate for a winch and bolt in on using the tow hook bolts. Winches on the front are GREAT when you're helping someone else, sometimes though, the problem requires getting my own arse out of the woods. I slid down a muddy steep trail once in my old Jeepster. Wouldn'cha know it, I ended up front bumper/winch down against a big log. Oh, I had a winch alright, lot of good it did me. It took hours of jacking, moving, filling, cussin', blood, sweat and tears but I got it out. I've still got my bag of tricks prompted by that escapade, TWO snatch blocks, every hi-lift accessory available, and the desire for a receiver mounted winch.
The garage shelf's a great place for the winch when I'm not offroad. It stays new, uncorroded, clean, and ready to use. Yeah, they look silly sticking out there, but they work.
