You will need a HEAVY duty bumper... expensive!

Detours backbone also has some nice winch mounts for keeping stock look at 1/3 of price.

Detours makes a winch mount that is not too heavy and may be shippable HERE

You could also use a winch cradle and a front mounted receiver hitch.

How would that hold up to side pulls?

Not as well as a bumper mounted winch obviously, but that's what ****** blocks are for.

you could set it up like I did mine. If you got some scrap steel and know someone who can weld you can just make a winch mounting plate behind your stock bumper and attach your winch to it. Did mine for 50 bucks including all the bolts.



If you know someone who can I can get you the specs on it. Other wise the cheapest method is to get a front hitch receiver and a mounting plate for that.
