Ya, that was my initial thoughts also. Plus I really like having access to the drum. When I got the winch my first instinct was to build a bumper to get the winch up higher,which would require it to stick out, like you usually see. But I really like it tucked back inside.
Now I'm back to considering building a minimalist iron bumper. I always liked the builtin iron hawses, like on a deuce and half and the old Power Wagons.
I may go that route still, especially since the PO cut the fenders for big mudders. The cut fenders would fit the look of a custom iron bumper. I still plan to fix the fender some day when I paint. But hey, this thing is more of a hobby for me than anything else, so I'm likely to change things up.
I would make a cross between these two below. One's a deuce ones a power wagon. Notice how the iron is attached for hawse, I really like that.
A deuce bumper
A Power Wagon bumper. It bottom winds but still check out hawse method. Plus these bumpers leave an open center section, which is what I'm really looking for.
