    CUCV Front Winch Mount

    That's exactly what I'm getting at. Any time I've used a winch for recreational use and not moving stuff around, I needed to either hold the truck using the brakes or try and bump a tire over an obstacle while pulling it forward. I agree, my truck has a hard enough time with power steering...
