Looking at that picture, i can't see most of it, so going by your comment i figure you live in a barn since the average house in fife isn't big enough to get a 90 in the 2nd bedroom

just a thought,

but i'd have said that your standard bumper isnt strong enough to take the winch with a load on it, it'll twist the bumper and come off, in a recovery situation

also there doesnt appear to be any where to locate the fairlead

please ignore me if you have further plans, but from the pics thats how it looks to me
