TJM Bumper Winch Instllation?
First I have a unique TJM bumper. Steve at Sonoran Steel said that there were only three in the USA which has made it difficult to find any information about it.
I'm trying to install an XRC winch but I'm not sure if I need to install a winch mount/plate. The four holes on the bumper line up (See attached pics) with the winch. Is it as simple as bolting the winch to the bumper? I'm not sure if I'm overthinking this but I would hate for my winch to rip off the bumper.

If it was me I would make a Winch mounting plate that ties into as many points as you can get.
I made a extra plate that ties the front of the frame together where the Tow hooks mounted at one time.
This also tied into the front of the frame where it was cut back and pieces welded in with 1/2" or 12mm weld nuts can`t recall what I used
That is if you are serious about winching more then loaded shopping carts at the Mall.
