I don't think it's bad and a good price.

But agree with what seems to be the popular vote in this thread. I really like the winch to sit down in the bumper and no on top of it.

I personally think the bumper looks great compared to the other tube styles out there....and I probably won't be needing a winch for a while longer, so It'll be on my list of possible mods

IMO i think it would better in between the frame. But the price is good if that is your style.

its preference man. You are going to get 50-50 on that one.

I personally agree with Chuckster on the winch sitting in the bumper and not on top. Better function that way.

I also prefer the lower winch mount and I honestly think it looks awkward with the powerplant winch but with a smaller winch I dont think it would be so bad.

The powerplant is a monster, I would not mind seeing some pics with a more "petite" winch in it.

Looks like it has good clearance and approach angle. It is different from a lot of other bumpers
