Yes, any idea is a good idea!

For your budget and end use, I would suggest a custom built front bumper/winch mount. That way you don't have to store a portable/detachable winch and mount.If you actually do a big trip- space will be at a premium. I had Advanced build one for me years ago and it was high on the cool factor:

Custom Truck Bumpers, Heavy Duty Replacement Bumpers, Custom Flat Beds From Advanced Manufacturing

There are many other custom builders out there- pick a winch, and then talk to the factory about their ideas. If you do it right, they will sponsor your rig and help you out.

You will probably want to install a 12v alternator to the truck, so a big electric winch would work great (in either 12 or 24v). I plan to do the quick detach winch mount and just install a 2" receiver for a couple non-winch trucks. Leave the winch at home until the elk hunt.

About the choice of truck- my vote would be for an A2 multifuel. But since you didn't ask about a truck choice, I won't say anything...
