Winch Mount? Ideas?

[anchorshot]

Hey guys, I am looking to install a winch on my 04 Edge. It's 2wd, and was wondering what the best way to go about this is? Is it easiest to just fab up a new front bumper?

get a hitch and bolt it up front and do a hitch mounted winch. you can even remove it then.

Monster photo coming up. Here is my Reese hitch mounted in front with a Reese hitch cover. I have a portable winch mount that I can use front or back.

Regular size photo coming up...Front hitch right after I got it mounted. I paid $60.00 for it with shipping on Ebay..brand new in the box.

or just fab something to put it behind the front bumper like I did.

straycat,

do you recall what the model number was on that reese hitch? i have searched their website and have found nothing that resembles that hitch. They have one but it mounts below the frame and I would like to have it come out at the same place where yours is. thanks!
