Re: Winch security
Tack-welding a piece of scrap steel over one of the bolts is a better

Re: Winch security
The nice way to do it is to weld a 2" long stub piece of 1" (ID) pipe
over one or more of the bolt holes. Drill a 3/8' cross hole then install
the winch as normal, using a deep socket to tighten the bolts up.
Install a 3/8" bolt through the cross hole, weld the nut tight. If you
want to remove the mounting bolt, hacksaw or torch off the 3/8" cross bolt.
