Well, I mean, not everyone can just whip out a custom fabricated frame mounted winch plate using a receiver hitch that's easy to remove and doesn't get in the way of anything else. So there's that to consider.Just my opinion here, but I don't get the guys that have permeant winch mounts and then daily drive the rigs, are you going to get stuck in the walmart parking lot? That is a lot of wear and tear on expensive tool that is rarely used. That is why I prefer cradle mount. It lives in the garage when not needed and on the jeep when off in the outback.
I am hoping as teh JT ages there will be more aftermarket bumpers with a 2" receiver integrated.
Once I get my JT I will be fabbing up a 2" receiver and plate, I can mount between the frame rails so I can continue to add and remove the winch as needed.
