Default Front hitch and brush guard

I'm looking at getting a brush guard, front mount hitch and hidden winch mount for my 2000 blazer will all of these work together or would the front mount hitch interfere with the hidden winch mount?

I think you'll have to choose between the hidden hitch or hidden winch, but either or should work with the brush guard. Have you thought about going with the hidden hitch and using a hitch mount for the winch? Would be able to go front or back if you have a hitch back there too

I considered this manner of mounting a winch with the receiver behind the front license plate. The standard bolt-on front receivers are too low.

I'm guessing the hidden winch mount and the front hitch (and maybe even the brush guard) share the same mounting points, so they probably aren't compatible right out of the box. But with a little creative fabrication, I'm sure they could be made to work together.

Blazen_red was able to install both brush guard and hidden winch mount on the front of his, with only modding his skid plate I believe. The hidden hitch mount is one I'm not sure of for mounting...
