Question winch mounting to a 1997 ford ranger splash ?

Hello everyone,
I would like to know if anyone can advise me on how to attach a winch tong to my 1997 ford ranger splash 4x4 ?
I have been told that I would have to have a special front bumper to do this but i cant find one that is for mounting a winch to.
any advise you have to offer i would be grateful for.
Thanks,
