Pics for 72longbed of winch bumper

[fun in dirt]

Welded heavy square tubing between frame rails, then welded receiver tube to that. Bent up box for winch & put into receiver, then built bumper around it. Winch box held in place by receiver pin & 5/8 grade 8 bolt on each side that screws into weld nuts into the bumper tubing.
Works great - as you can see by the scratched & mud its been used & abused. I have been against a tree pulling with the winch, hard enough that the winch quits pulling & the bumper has never budged!

So you can remove the whole thing with a pull of the pin?
I like the eexpanded steel look.

...And take out the 2 bolts. "Whole thing" being the winch box section, that way can put it on the rear too if needed. But we also have a receiver tube on front of our car hauler trailer so can put the winch on it & drag something onto the trailer if needed.

Slick setup! That's alot cleaner than the regular receiver style mounts that you see. Are you using those quick connects for the cables too? Man I like that setup!

THANKS!
Yeah it has quick connects, but just use a welding cable quick connector for the hot & it grounds itself since all connected to the frame.
