Why it's the durable and longlasting Chicago Electric! That's the reason for the hoop. To protect that expensive winch !!! 
Seriously, I'm on a budget and do plan on upgrading the winch and possibly the bumper (love the shrockworks!) next spring/summer. This was all a huge experiment and a mild case of boredom/curiosity seeking. The 10,000 lb winch, winch plate, hoop, and hardware cost less than $500...

Thanks guys! The winch is indeed a cheapo but if I use it 1-3 times to get out of a jam I figure it paid for itself. Regular $599 on sale for $399 with winch plate and fairlead. I do have my sites on a Warn or Superwinch but funds will be tight (short of a windfall) untill next spring or summer. I have other mods lined up and a top of the line winch is on down the line some... Thanks again, this project was fun!
