Well here's what I've always wanted to do, and you can do it with a big winch that isn't bumper mountable... (I am a poor grad student though and no $ to do it) .... mount a PTO winch mid-truck, right behind the cab in/under the bed...run the winch cable to the back bumper, around a ****** block, then up to the front through some metal tubing or something. Then to winch from the rear you pull the ****** block out and hook it to a d-ring and to winch from the front just pull the cable out as usual. I've seen this setup somewhere before on a landrover, maybe someone else will know some web links to it...I think it'd be a really sweet setup though.
