The more bolts to the frame/unibody the better !!!!!!

Easy is not safe!

He screwed me on my back bumper paid for d rings and receiver and never got the tie ins. Paid almost 400 for something I can't use and his communication is nonexistent once the transaction is complete.

Depending on your driving situation, you may want to consider a multi-mount winch where you can remove the winch when its not in use to keep it from the elements as well as keep it secured inside the Jeep.
We offer a couple different options that we can integrate a 2" receiver hitch onto that will allow you to run a multi-mount winch.

probably should of posted on here sooner but hey forgot all about it.

The Roxolid bumper is sweet, I had to drag an Interational 1850 with a well service hoist on it out of the mud. I just held the front brakes and drug the truck back. (Got a Tiger by the Tail)

I replaced the rear bumper too, I had a hitch receiver rust out and give when I was pulling a buddy out of the ditch over the winter and that started this whole adventure. That was a JCR DIY bumper powder coated satin black by a guy in Crest Hill. (CPC coatings) and now it looks complete, excluding the rust holes in the quarter panels from the bumper end caps.
