    i looked at this, this winch is garbage... you can get a smitty bilt winch for 100$ cheaper and its a series wound motor, and 5.5hp... pluss other things, or for the same price you can get a 10k lb version. but dont get that champion. i've had those things die on me before, its more cheap chinese crap... sorry to rant, but i just wanted to warn you

    I always thought it would be cool to build a custom one into a (strong) bull bar that sort of replaced the middle section of the lower front valence, maybe something like this:
