Added a winch to my bumper.
I beefed up my homemade bumper so it could handle a winch. just added an angle support to the back and welded another angle to the front for the fair lead mount it turned out really good! i got the winch from my grandpa for free.99 . and it works really well!
also mounted the control plug in my turn signal. will post more pics of the winch installed tomorow.

I like the light mount. We mounted my buddies on the fender, was fine till he flopped it and broke it off. Light looks pretty protected so you should be fine.

Not to be a hater but it dosnt look that strong.The bumper looks beefy but you just welded a plate to it (the weld was really nice)but im thinking it might put too much stress on your weld maybe make a couple of gussets under your plate other than that its awesome

i would suggest welding in 3 triangle gussets. one on each end and one in the center just to make sure everything stays there.
other then that great job on the bumper!! keep up the good work!
