This has been done. I like the idea of the receiver mounting unit - works front of back!

I saw the thread on winchs and thought I would throw my idea out there. Maybe someone has this set up or has tried it and knows it won't work. I have a 87' Syncro and plan to go to larger wheels soon. So now that opens up the spare tire area. What about welding a plate accros the frame in there, mounting the winch to it, then cutting a hole in the bumper and some how mounting the fair lead there? If it would work it sure would be a clean set up?
