Reasons I would not have a hidden winch;

I actually hit quite a few rocks this weekend on a washed-out dirt road. I do not...
My front bumper is made by wolfstorm. It was either remote mount the control box or notch the grille.
I would not recommend any hidden winch for an ATV through an off-road rig. It would not be easy to clean, maintain or even get to the free spool lever.
