Mounted to a receiver hitch on a custom bumper I built. I have it wired for front or back use.

Here's mine....I welded a piece of rectangular tube to create a crossmember, then welded a Warn winch mounting plate to that.

Welded some 2" sq receiver tube to the frame ends and added gussets.

The bumper bolts up to the frame and nests around the winch.

I wanted this low and out of the airflow to the radiator, the license plate covers the roller fairlead.
