I just installed my KFI mount and it is well built. I too was concerned with mounting on the thin bumper supports, but with the thick mount brackets covering the tube, it is very sturdy! For the winch, I went with Cabela's new Trail Tamer 4200 that is made by Warn. It looks to be the exact same winch as the Warn Vantage but a different color and Cabela's label on it. I was able to get the 4200lb winch for under $250 (all Warn and cabela's winch'es are on sale right now and I used a $20 discount coupon). The other winch I seriously considered was the Warn ProAdvantage 4500. It can be had for under $500 ( sale price + Warn $50 rebate). I just couldn't justify double the price for the proadvantage. I need it for my new (Cycle Country) plow that is on its way. I will test the winch and mount out in real life situations and send pictures in the coming weeks. Overall I'm very impressed with the KFI mount and the New Cabela's / Warn Trail Tamer winch!

I just broke down and ordered the Warn Provantage 4500-s and the KFI mount. I used some birthday money to knock down the winch price. I hope to have the winch and light bar mounted by next weekend. Duck season is getting close! Still struggling with how to make a gun rack and stereo speakers both work. Decisions!

Dgrider is right Pioneer takes 3.1qts Valkyrie takes 3.9qts

Like I said dealer I bought it from sold me what they were going to put in it.

I am going to rant here ... American Honda should make EVEN amounts instead of making us measure out what is most likely mL. My AWD Acura is the same way trans, transfer and rear chunk all take uneven amounts of fluid.
