Would it be strong enough to use a recovery point/winch mount?
Thx and Marry Christmas

Why not buy a bumper with a hitch in it. Or build one.

fyi - dont plan on running a front skid with one of those. i looked into one and all makers said they are not compatible with skids.

I thinking about buying one also. I don't want a front skid plate so I'm good.
