high approach angle winch bracket photos

[Rogue H2]

I made the bracket to solve a personal need on my personal vehicle. I saw the approach angle problem as soon as I installed the Warn multi-mount system. I cut the receiver tube from the Warn mount and custom fit it to an adjustable hitch system. The hitch system is factory rated to 10,000lbs and a call to their tech support during my design research revealed that they have unofficially tested these hitches to 30,000lbs without deflection. (his words not mine.) I do not manufacture this mount, but it looks like maybe I should. The mount is adjustable 8" up and down. The full up position would generate a lot of rotational stress on the hummer receiver mount that it probably wasn't designed for. If I need more than a moderate pull to get unstuck I will lower it to the latteral position. Yes that is my Jeep in the driveway.
