Re: H3 winch mount
Cool - Thanks for the confirmation. I wonder about things like that - for example putting a portable winch on the back hitch. If the hitch is rated at 5,000 pounds pulling stregth would it hold up? I think it would be fine but I still wonder.
The front hitch on my H3 can probably pull 20,000 pounds it is very beefy (maybe over kill). I like your design much better than my front hitch design. It is higher and won't interfere with approach angles. Not that I have had any issues with approach angle but it is nice to take that out of the scenario.
How quickly could you loosen the winch nuts and just take the winch off? It would be nice to have the ability to quick disconnect the power and un-loosen some bolts and just store the winch in the garage for city driving etc.
What kinds of roof rack is that - it is very sharp also?
Thanks Cris.

Rear hitch mount won't work without an extension...spare tire is in the way.
Entire winch mount can be removed by undoing D-ring bolts, cables attached easily & quickly to battery. Cables went right through the round holes under grill, no cutting necessary. Did have to cut a notch in the battery post plastic protectors for cables, but no big deal.
Rack by BVG (Bauer Vehicle Gear), attached easy, not too big (though a GOBI would be nice!!!)
