Since this seems to be a pretty popular mounting option for a winch on the modular bumper, I was curious what owners' experiences have been with them after use.
With the winch mounted up so high, I want to know what the general consensus is on what, if anything, has bent after use in a vehicle recovery. I would think that quite a bit of torque gets applied to the frame horns and/or the mount itself when under load. I know frame horn reinforcements exist, but if I was running one of these, I'd be nervous the winch mount itself could bend. Is this the case or am I overthinking things?
