Anyone working on a front hitch for the GX550?

[nartmot]

Is anyone working on bringing a front hitch for the GX550 to market? This would be a great winch mounting option for those of us that don't want or need a heavy steel front bumper. They can also be used for maneuvering trailers in tight situations, and I have even seen some people use them for their bike racks. What are your thoughts on front hitches? Would you rock one?

I've also seen small snowplows use a front hitch.

I definitely would not want a front hitch that was BELOW the already low front bumper. I think it could be a nice option if it was put into a lower profile steel bumper, but it wouldn't look great and you would have to keep it plugged with something or it would likely make some noise from the wind. It would be nice to have a winch you could put front or back, but it may not be that convenient to try to install it in the front after you are stuck, and it might hit stuff if you install it up there before you are stuck. Recovery points on the frame would also be safer than using a front hitch to add a recovery point. Just my thoughts.
