just an update, Westin now offers a winch capable grille guard: http://www.westinautomotive.com/pages/09NP_WCSM.html

also, what kinda setup do most guys run with their battery hook up? Since Im not going to be running the winch without the truck on, couldn't I just hook it up to the alternator? Im sorry if these seem to be stupid questions, Im very new to winches and still learning.
