I'm not absolutely certain, but I'm pretty sure that almost all members on here would agree that the removable, receiver-mounted winches are for wussies and commies only.

In case I'm wrong, I think many only install them when wheeling.

That may be the case... However it came with the vehicle and since I am not really a hard core off-roader I really do not need anything nastier.

That Marinehawk - what a funny guy....
codeman - I too have a removable winch and if I let my girlfriend or son use it when it's attached there's a chance that they might forget and impale the car / truck in front of them. I'm a part time wheeler even with Moab just 4 hrs south...
As for the relocation of the madatory plate - Utah also - I mounted it up on my rack. What do you think? I used to keep it between the seats and pull it out if I got pulled over. Pic - MVC005F - shows why a removable winch is a good idea. This was on Hells Revenge Trail last June. I have higher res pic's that can't be sent through Elcova that I could send to your regular e-mail if you want.
I hope this helps...
