Too me the advantage of a removable winch is that I can hang it on the front or the rear of my Jeep. This lets me pull forward and backward.

But your wing didn't protect your fenders or lights as you seen when you hit the trees or small child.

If i were to do mine again id do a hidden winch bumper plus you'll bolt it to the front of plate where there is no cross force, as you are pulling from directly under the winch instead of a side pull.
