Great quality product, perfect fit for my 2018 Honda Pioneer 1000 5 LE. I installed it without removing the bumper, but ultimately took the bumper part way off to tighten the hardware - nuts, inside of the plate. The plate is thick enough to be be workable, stout and sturdy. And as a DYI welder, I appreciated the quality of the design, fit and MIG welds. I'd highly recommend if you are looking for a tie back hitch to your winch or use the hitch to push - pull trailers in tight quarters.
