Rear winches anyone? Playing with the concept for a JL rear winch bumper with lines that are similar to our current adventure series bumper. I would have guessed it's not a huge plus for clearance out back; however the departure angle actually improves just getting the spare 37" tire up a bit higher. I'm also far happier to drag the bumper over rocks then the spare tire haha.
I'm not real attached to the factory receiver... I'm leaning towards integrating a hitch underneath the winch tray, and tying the winch tray into the factory hitch mounting points/rear crossmember. Lights, recovery points... anything else might you guys want to see on it?
