Can you really mount a winch to those??? looks thin.
i read back over my first post and i did not make it clear what i was wanting to do.i want to keep a stock bumper and use the grill guard (not as the winch mount) but to give it a better look and a place to mount my kc lights. i needed a idea for a winch mount with out getting rid of my bumper or grill guard. i dont want a tube bumper and really dont have the extra cash for a arb or warn winch grill guard. i thought about a receiver hitch up front. i am looking for ideas.

I wouldn't mount a winch to one of those grille guard/brush guards. They aren't designed to be under that great of a load, and will rip either the stock bumper, or the grille guard itself clean off. You want to buy something that is designed to hold a winch. Safety first. Or you could just fab up your own bumper that has a winch mount on it. Fabbin' is more fun and cheaper than buying anyhow.
Just reread your last post, a receiver hitch would be a great idea. Plenty strong, and you could also make the winch moveable to the front and back of your rig.
