Built this winch mount for my 04 Sorento. Had to remove the front frame
crossmeber, section out some of the body up front. But the approach
angle actualy improved, and I can get myself out of trouble now!

Wheeling in a Kia? Thats AWESOME. I would love some more pics, and info on
your truck. Where are you located? What size tires are you running? How did
you lift it? Are you locked?

Yeah, I always like folks who operate out of the mainstream. The
Sorento looks like it has some potential and I've thought about buying
an older Sportage to fool around with myself.

That kicks butt! As soon as "she who must be obeyed" will let me (when the
warranty runs out), I need to do something similar to my 2004 Envoy.
Inspiration comes from your pics, and this one of what fourwheeler.com did
to a Lexus:
