You're right, not a very good bush bumper.

Since you will be replacing the winch anyways let me save you some future grief. The OEM bumper will break with the winch mounted to the outside of it like that; which is the reason why Polaris quite making winch mounts for the Scrambler and why there are very few that make mounting kits.

Either get a aftermarket bumper and mount the winch to it (thought it is a shame to hide a nice bumper with a winch) or move the winch inside of bumper (between the bumper and the radiator). Mine is inside the bumper and so far I have not had any bumper break off, but I do check the bumper for cracks a couple time each ride.

When the bumper breaks, it will pivot down and dig into the ground or/and goes through the rad. Not good if coming off a jump or a hard bump at speed.
