i wouldnt suggest puttin a winch on that bumper if its pure 1/8th sheet metal, but if you have reinforced the bottom side of the bumper and have that reinforced area tied into the frame then itll be okay but 1/8 isnt gonna hold up, ive bent 3/16 when using my winch

heres a pic of what we had his do.
he smashed the rock climbing up it, then we dragged it from the tubes on the bumper, didnt seem to hurt the bumper at all, now the fenders were another story lol
