I recently got a chance to use the winch in my stealth, but to my surprise the winch was stronger than the mounting plate in the bumper. As you can see in the pics, the winch mount is bent out of shape now, and I/m looking for advice on how to straighten her back out.

The Recon 10,500 lb. Damn O'l Georgia Red Mud holds a truck pretty tight.

ADD is on the ball, they are shipping me a new mount plate at no charge. Just have to get it welded on.

This is still my favorite bumper, but like some have done with the frames, I just pushed it a little past it's limits.

ADD, thanks for the quick reply and all the help. I'll be back for a rear bumper soon.

I have a similar issue with the venom front winch bumper. This weekend I was pulling a Mexican Palm stump using the winch (warn 10k) and the plate bent forward tilting the plate so the winch is now leaning forward hitting the hood latch and pushing it out of position. I'm goona have to pull the bumper off this weeken to see if I can bend it back. I'll post some pics.
