front hitch receiver mounted winch

[George the Rover]

Any thoughts on having a removable winch for use on a receiver tube equipped front bumper? I only go off-roading a couple of times per year and thought it would be nice to have a winch available for those few occasions rather than permanently mounted as per usual. Looking at this front bumper from First Four Off Road, a design I really like.
Your thoughts?

I like it. I did this on my RRC and I'd do it again if I ever made another bumper. Keeps the slim line look. Avoids theft. Avoids weather damage. Reduces weight. And if you ever find yourself precariously nose down, you can slap it on the back and winch yourself backwards.
