SPAZZ told me he had the Warn XD9000i winch mounted on the bumper, but that is mad $$$. Supposedly the best thing out there when it came out, but I'm not that well versed on winches (yet). Just based on our conversation during the buying process I got the impression that he was more into hardcore crawling than on-road performance. Could be wrong though, but best to email him directly as I don't think he spends much time on here anymore.
You're right, originally he didn't want to deal with the hassle of shipping but I talked him into it. I'm from the school of thought that a gentleman doesn't kiss and tell on price negotiation, but I will say that we came to a reasonable agreement that included more than just the bumper.
