Warn makes a winch that sits on a cradle with an attachment that will fit in your towing reciever. You can take this off and on as you please and also mount it up front if you get a hitch installed up there.

Any particular reason for the bed?

If I was you I would check out that Warn one becuase you can use it in the rear but if you don't have anything to hook up to you can use the front, as long as you have a reciever.

yes, you can fit 33's if you crank the torsion bars, if you dont know how to do it, I asked the same question, and got some very good answers. Just search for it on this site.

and like tide said, you can get a reciever hitch mount that just slides into your reciever hitch, and can be taken off so it dosent get stolen or in the way.

if you are handy with a welder, just make one. All you need is some 2 inch square stock, and a peice of steel plate that you can bolt your winch onto.

all you do is buy or make the plate, and bolt your winch to it.
