Default Winch Question

Hey. Never had a winch before but I want to get one. I have front and rear steel bumpers. Any way I would be able to move the winch from front to rear as needed or would the location be a fixed one? Thanks.

If your bumpers have a 2" receiver you can get a cradle mount for the winch. They work fine for straight pulls but angled pulls not so much. Make sure the bumpers are up to the task for a winch, mount wise as well as steel size.

You would also have to address getting power to it in the back. Personally I want to have two for this very reason.

it's almost easier to just use 3 ****** blocks with some simple rigging, you can pull your jeep backwards with a front mounted winch. providing there's adequate trees around.
