Bolt on kit,
Easy peasy. Cept the cost$$$ of the plate
Yo Gunny...the truck is gorgeous in orange...mine is still sandbox. This is very much what I was thinking, except pins through rectangular tube sides instead of bolts to make it easier to move aft. I see you also have the winch baseplate forward to reduce the bolt stress under load. I hoped to store the rig elsewhere and pull it out as needed, but, as y'all have said, it weighs a ton and access in the mud is likely a to be thing...probably better to bolt it down. Is your bracket a one-off or available from a vendor ? Also like the lite bar location. Did it require anything extra to fit it under the tilted cab ? Thank you all for sharing your hard earned expertise.

Hello Madog,
I make them, It’s best to fit it to your truck- as those shackle mounts are off a bit on all trucks- the 1 inch plate has to be dead on, no bending it to fit- PM me.
light bar fits with about 1/4 clearance, and has a great beam, works great.
