yeah the retro 70s look with the chain. Thats the ticket. Instead of wasting money on a winch bumper up front i figure i can just bolt a rear bumper overtop of the front and mount the winch where the hitch ball goes.

Get some big sets of truck nuts and hang them behind each wheel! That's what I did, and everyone loves it at the mall.
