It's a custom bumper the PO whipped up bolted to a shortened rear frame. Just about flush with the rear hatch of the LX but very weak in the corners. If you look closely you can see that its broken on the drivers side corner
Will be replaced with a dual swing out from 4x4labs shortly.

The rear winch is a Warn 10 000lb low mount winch. It is mounted in a custom cradle, which uses the Hayman Reese tow hitch mount to slide into. There is a dedicated quick couple electrical connector which runs of the auxilary battery.
Sometimes it is easier to winch yourself out the way you went in, rather than trying to winch yourself further into trouble. The Winch and cradle is removable so that it does not affect the rear departure angle. I also use it when I have the jet ski trailer hooked up as it makes it easy to recover the jetskis onto the trailer and i can then drive straight off.
If you have ever tried to use a front mounted winch to winch backwards, you will appreciate the ease of a rear mounted winch.
I will post some photographs up next time I take the truck out for a drive.
Merry Christmas to all and I wish you all safe travels over the festive period
