Front Hitch Install question

Who has actually done a front hitch install on a 1009 for mounting a winch carrier, etc? Did you have to fabricate one or have you found one that fits off the shelf? So far the only one I've found is this Warn receiver:

WARN 25855 Front Receiver Trailer Hitch,2 inch : Amazon.com : Automotive

I can't find any reference to it on here though, so I was wondering if anyone's installed the Warn 25855 before. Requires dropping the front bumper to install, and since that's not exactly a stock component, wondering if anyone has any firsthand experience with that before I just have to eyeball it and decide if I can make it work.

Chief:

Did you go through with this project? I'd be interested in hearing form you or anyone else who has done this, to see how it came out!

Thanks in advance

Search for a thread that I did only a few months ago, it has all the specifics. You do need to do some modifications as the CUCV is not a bolt in affair compared to the civy version.

Any chance to see a picture of how this looks when installed? I presume it requires some cutting, etc? I'd like to do this, but don't want to cut anything...

Thanks!
