Winching: Multi-mount v. Integrated Bumper Mount

[RIC-H0]

I've yet to have mine stolen, but if someone were to really want it, they could break the pin lock and take it off the front of my vehicle.

As far as Stability goes...with the multi-mount, the whole winch is resting on the receiver, and not mounted to the frame. I have exceeded the limits on the capacity of my winch a time or 2, but the whole time, I wasn't concern with the winch giving way as much as the receiver mount bolts breaking on me.

Just my 2 cents worth!
But I will continue to use my multimount!
I actually leave my winch on 100% of the time, because you never know when you may need it.
It's kinda like steel toes on a workboot, kinda inconvenient at times, but really nice to have when something causes you to need them!
