We've found that one of the most useful tools you can have on your truck is a winch. And no, that doesn't mean specifically for offroading purposes, but also for numerous other "truck related" purposes. After you fell a tree, would you rather cut it into rounds on the side of the hill and have to roll them down to load into your truck, or would you rather winch the whole tree down to your truck, then cut it into sections and load right there? How about when your neighbor is buried in a snow bank. Would you rather hook a chain and yank them out, potentially causing damage to one of the vehicles in the process, or hook a winch and slowly pull them out?
Okay, so we've proven our point that winches are extremely useful, but how do you go about mounting one? There are numerous methods for securing a winch to your truck, whether it be a full replacement bumper, and add-on brush guard, and some even prefer a removable cradle mount which is really handy as this will allow you to mount a front receiver hitch on the truck, wire both ends of the vehicle, and you can use it on the front or back of the truck depending on the situation.
