Nice! Here's hoping you don't have to use it.... on yourself at least. That license plate may not last long there.

I hope you reinforced the stock reinforcement. That thing is just sheet metal as it is and isn't really suitable for a winch IMO. If you just cut a hole in the front, don't be surprised if you taco your bumper.

Reinforced with 1/4 steel plate across frame rail to frame rail. Made cut outs for the lights. The plate placement is just temp.

OE bumper steel on right. New steel on left. This should work

Bolts or zip ties, either should work.
