new toy for cheap, and need advice on bumper.
hey everyone, picked up this jewel today. its a Ramsey 8K winch, works flawlessly. picked it up for 200 bux. now that i have that, i need advice on making a custom bumper for the front of my truck. i have the general idea on what i want, just want some opinions/advice from people who have made them before.

make it mount to a male receiver hitch and incorporate a hitch into your front bumper so you can use it on the rear if you ever need to. thats what i did and its great for piece of mind when wheeling alone.
I hate you, well, not really, but I want it.
edit: forgot, the guy told me it came off a tow truck that the airport had for emergencies, and it was barely used. you can tell by the fairlead that it wasn't used much at all. plus, the cable was replaced less than a year before it was sold. ill see how it does, but one day i want a synthetic rope on it.

sweet dude try and build it so it comes out the whole in your bumper or build a new plate bumper it would look sweet on there
is it a 12v or a 24v? my dad had the same winch and he had to daisy chain 2 batts together to get it to work to its full potential

whats up andy. yall still go to the creek? i'd like to make it up there one weekend and go wheelin with yall.
I took my front bumper off today, to look. i think i am gonna make a hidden mount type thing. make it like a cross member all the way at the front of the frame, and the fairlead will just show between the tow hooks.
