Hello everyone. I’m planning to install a winch (10k lbs at least) to the front of my vehicle. However I’m trying to keep things as budget-friendly as possible. I’m debating the idea of bolting a winch plate directly on top of the stock bumper guard. Do you think it can withstand the pulling of a sand/mud-bogged 2.5ton SUV? Here are pics of the inner bumper and the plate I’m referring to. Thanks.
