    I have seen some people with just a big steel plate mounted where the front rack would go then they just bolt it to that. Not in person though so i cant give you exact details other than an idea.


    Edit:
    Skip to 3:50 and youll see one. This is from TF.

    Yes, if your front end was wedged into a log or something.... I gusseted my rack, moved the side bars as far forward as possible and plated it with steel...

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    I think the rear is a better place for a winch. Anchor to the grab bar and/or rack somehow.

    I feel like that would be dangerous. Did you ever try and pull something by strapping it to the back rack? It lifts up. I think youd be better off with it on the front.
