    Looks like a recipe for disaster to me, ...any serious pulling should be linked to the frame somehow.
    Mind you, I've seen some smaller ATV size winches mounted at the front of the box to metal channels , ..ie backrack or home made varient.
    but those were intended to pull things like larger roadkill into the box or smaller items that might weight <1000 lbs (guessing on the weight here)
    Sheet metal will not hold up to the loads (cars, etc) you're intending, unless you really want to start shopping for a replacement box
