Is anyone running a set-up like this? The tree I mention in the original post was the only thing to tie off to and a front mounted winch I dont think would have helped(in Nevada we dont have that many trees--opps now CMAN knows my secret spot!!)

I have an Warn receiver mounted 8000# that I have used for the last 10 years on my 60 with no issues. Built front and rear receivers out of a little thicker material (5/16 I think) fits tight and does not move around. Was a little worried at first but after some pulls, some 90 degree pulls I feel OK with it. We travel/wheel a lot solo and its nice to have the option of a winch on the rear.
