Winch on '02-'05 Explorer?

[Paul Gagnon]

I am seriously thinking about buying an '05 Explorer and I would put a winch on it if I did get one. Has anyone mounted a winch on the front of their '02-'05 Explorer? Does anyone know who makes winch mounting mounting brackets or kits for these years?

Don't think anyone makes any yet. The only think I can think of using would be a 2" receiver style portable mount.

that would even still be tough, the front bumper on the new trucks extends way far down. you would have to do some serious cutting to get a reciever in there and make it functional
