so I'm starting to consider what are my options for getting a front mounted tow hitch in order to have a place to mount a winch in the front. I'm not sure if there is any other option to mount a winch other than replacing the bumper, which isn't something that I'm planning on doing. Does anyone know of any alternatives for a winch that aren't bumper or tow hitch mounted? Also if anyone knows some good front tow hitch receiver options. The benefits I see of the winch mounting using the tow hitch is that I can use it on either end of the vehicle along with being able to use it for other things, but I'm also not entirely sure of the cons either.

Our KJ had some beefy brackets for a tow bar (quick release). Stock bumper unmodified. Maybe something like that could be used to mount a receiver.
Edit: i think it used the factory tow hook locations.

I would suggest a slightly larger winch, because that is rated 4000 lb. which libertys weigh 3500-4000 pounds which would probably be pushing it for that winch.I've been thinking about this portable winch, any opinions?Trojan Winches

Those kits are pretty slick! Sure would make it easy to pull from either end.
yeah I saw this one, other than the curt branded one, I haven't even seen any others. This is kinda what I'm thinking, just not entirely sure if its the best option I have.2007 Jeep Liberty Front Mount Hitch | etrailer.com

yeah, that's part of my thinking, it makes wiring a little bit more complicated, but not terribly complicated and will slightly decrease the approach angle, but other than that it seems like a pretty decent idea.
