Sorry to poo-poo on this winch mount, but I didn't think it was built correctly so I asked some engineer friends to look at it. Here's what they said:
"Patton and I just had a howl over the Rogue bracketry. We were
surprised the thing held the hook up. The compounding leverage factor on
the arm comming from the receiver would bend with a 3000 # winch even if he
used 3/4 inch bar stock, not to mention the inside knee stresses on the best
of welds. I hope his liability insurance is huge! The sad part is there
were respondees that thought it had some merit. This proves you can sell
**** in a bag to the right person."
