Hopefully others on the forum with more technical knowledge will respond!

Actually it mounts between the frame rails and comes in behind the skid plate. You would have to have a square hole cut in the skid plate to keep from removing it. I'm just not sure I want to cruise around all of the time with my winch hanging on the front. Anybody ever have one ripped off? I did off of my CJ5 in 1980,
