what are those "pull points"? pipe clamps? get some real metal on there. and why didnt you just clock the winch so you can change it from underneath instead on making some weird linkage?

They way he made the bumper (With the winch sitting in a traditional location) he wouldn't be able to get to it from underneath.

Somebody on here has done this. Detours perhaps. Not sure. It had the D-ring mounts sticking out of the stock bumper and just the fairlead opening where the license plate would be. Pretty darn slick.

This one isn't on here but it can be done and I think it looks pretty good.
