Front 2" reciever / Towbar

has any one got any thoughts on fitting a front towbar ideally with a 2" reciever so i could use it for optional winch connection, thoughts / photos would be much appriciated, did fit the hidden winch on previous D3 but not sure i want to go down the same route so looking at alternatives, i do have an RLD front Guard fitted and not sure how this might impact front towbar.

Thanks in advance Chris.

Watling Engineers do a front 2" reciever kit. I use one for a removable winch.

The current Watling Engineering model is centre located, and also heavier materials than the earlier one.
