I'm helping a friend make a front hitch receiver to take a winch so he can install and remove it as required. I was surprised at how light the frame is on these rigs. Has anyone got any experience, advice or pictures of their own setup for this project?

i put a winch on the front of my sidekick- early model- very much like a sammy, i think.
you are right. the things are pretty light.
i started off by welding a 2" angle iron across the body mount pads in front. that became the base for my "winch mount". some more bracing back to the frame.
seems a receiver would be similar.
gonna get fancy with some high amp plug in there?

i got some pics, but someone probably has samurai pics, but you could probably start hacking and welding something that would be very functional. please post progress.
'94 "tracker", with some parts from suzi the psychic.
other modifications made, with more to come.
some intentional.
suzitoo should get me fishing.
