the threads in the bumper are imperial and the winch ones are metric so you will need a smoke grinder to re thread the holes

You haven't posted a link for the bumper ... and how can anyone give you an accurate answer on the second without knowing which winch .. some winches don't use solenoids, they're hydraulic ..

But .. I've known people to plate behind the standard bumper and use it, I wouldn't recommend it myself.

Deep ruts and woodland, plenty of places to put in some fresh dents into your panels, I would strongly recomend not going on the red routes without winch or tree sliders! oh and don't forget to pull your wing mirrors in! . Other than that it's GREAT! some nice deep water as well! check out Kirton off road centre as well.

Yeah Tong's great ..

Front wing in the following pic was done sliding into a tree on some tree roots at Tong. AT's are not too great there, but I never got 'properly' stuck .. at least I recovered myself and didn't need towing out of anywhere!!
