Default Front Hidden Hitch for Winching

I'm considering adding a hidden hitch front tow hitch to my xj for one main reason...

I would like to be able to pull the Warn 8K off the front of my YJ when we take the XJ out and just use a removeable winch hitch mount for the XJ...

Per wire the XJ and slide the winch hitch mount and winch on the XJ, lock it in, plug it in and be good to go..

What do you guys think?

Sounds like you might be better buying an aftermarket front bumper with winch mount looking at costs all said and done. Rear hitches are cheaper.

I found the Curt front hitch mount on Amazon for $117.31 shipped.

Amazon Amazon

My plan is to try to keep my Cherokee as stock looking as possible is the reason Im not planning on getting and aftermarket front bumper, and after looking at a LOT of images on line adding the front hitch mount and having the airdam it really becomes very unnoticable that you have it. I also am thinking maybe do a hitch plug in white to match the vehicle.

That is a good deal. I kind of wish I went that route. I have the hooks instead that tie into the frame. They cost about the same ($85) - obviously wouldn't work for what you are trying to do.
