I figure re drill for the bolt pattern and why not. I'll post pics when I figure out what to do with it

good point...YOU NEVER KNOW!!! now i'm gonna say this but i'm a cop so boundaries and guns don't apply to me. i carry my pistol EVERYWHERE!!! gym, gas station, grocery shopping, jogging...it doesn't matter. i'm commissioned and can carry ANYWHERE i want and i fully exercise that! you just never know. i see some crazy stuff now-a-days!!!
now how about, building a rack in the rear that is secured from roof to sub frame, and locks the guns in, could u have them loaded with mags in them
?

Yeah you could do a hitch on the front or back and have a receiver mounted winch.
FYI a little 3,500lb winch isn't gonna do much if anything for you.
Thats considered an ATV class winch.
Personally I'd recommend this: http://www.detoursusa.com/xjbackbone.php
For a Jeep, you really need at least a 6K winch, but most recommend 8.5K or above. If you go bigger it'll put less stress on the components when you do pull and the winch will last longer.

accually with enough cable and pullys you could use a 1000lb rated whinch, itll be slow as he** but itll still do the job
