hey guys i just got this new bumper the other day and i was wanting to get some opinions in where to mount a winch on it. im thinking in the center either above or below the license plate. i will be building a barcket to mount the winch on, just looking at ideas right now. let me know what you think.

If it were me I would go with the first option...I think it'll look better. I like the brush guard btw...where'd you find that?

got it from a friend for 50 bucks. homemade by his dad
 






u could also have a hole cut in it and mount it from behind... i have a setup like that which works great and keeps the weather off of my winch... little more work but its a clean cut look:)

i would do that but its made out of 3 pieces of 3 inch channel and i dont want to make it weak by cutting it
