Does anyone have one or know of someone with the Hidden Hitch front end class III receiver hitch? how do they install if you have a brush guard installed too? will the installation be impossible, or can it be done with VERY little modification. Thanks for the help. Oh, and also, if you do have the front hitch, did you mount a winch to it, and how does that work. Thanks.
 






www.performanceproducts.com has a front mounted one for '95-'00 Explorers. If the following link doesn't work, go to the web-site and do a search for hitch. It is made by Hidden Hitch. It runs $101.70.

do you have one mounted? I am wondering if it will fit due to my brush guard. I've e-mailed several companies, but none have responded. Thanks.
 






No I don't. It supposedly mounts to the bottom of the front frame. The receiver is in the opening, behind where the front license plate would be if you have it on. With my 3" body lift, things wouldn't line up the same.
