    " but it's just plain nice to be able to use the bumper to bump.", said Stumpalump.

    One of those little gems that have me coming back for more.
    I agree, by the way.

    You will likely find in the end, that you need to mod your truck as much as the friends you go with, so choose them carefully.

    Yeah, 'cause burying your winch in the mud or banging it into rocks is a great idea. Not.

    Four wheel drive allows you to get stuck
    in places even more inaccessible.

    I was responding to the video- not anyone else's comment. If you watch the video you'll note that the winch protrudes past the bumper by a good margin; it also hangs down while rotating.

    I think this is trying to fix a problem that doesn't really exist.

    Its a novel idea but I don't see most people sticking one on the front of there vehicle.

    It seems everyone here shares my thoughts. It has more far more con's than pro's (if any). Interesting, yes... but not even close to being practical. Figured it would be fun to share.
