Receiver-Mount Winch Drop-In Bumper Mounting Idea Diagram - 2 Inch Hitch Tube

Assembly schematic of a receiver-mount winch in a drop-in bumper configuration with a 2-inch pinning tube callout.

AI caption · Photo 149 of 574

This document is a hand-drawn schematic illustrating a homemade receiver-mount winch setup in a "drop-in bumper configuration." The drawing shows several views: a top-down view of a winch (depicted with a spooled cable drum) positioned above a bumper, a receiver tube assembly with a mounting plate, and a front/rear view of the bumper with the winch dropped into a center recess. A detail sketch on the right shows the receiver tube with an angled gusset or bracket. The only text annotation explains that a 2-inch tube is used to pin the winch in place when it is mounted on top of the bumper, and notes that the same tube can be used to mount the winch in front of the bumper or on other hitch-mounts. This makes the winch portable and repositionable between hitch receivers. The document contains no part numbers, torque specifications, wire colors, or fuse information—it is purely a conceptual mounting-idea sketch. It was uploaded to a 1987 Suzuki Samurai gallery, but the drawing itself is generic and does not state any specific vehicle, year, or model applicability, so it could apply to any vehicle with a 2-inch receiver hitch or a suitable bumper.
