You cant use the receiver shackles with the brush guard. Everything else should work fine.

I like my guard, but receiver shackles would be nice...To be able to have the guard and a tougher recovery point, I'm just going to hook up a front receiver hitch. I'm not sure how that would work with the Synergy Offroad winch mount though

The front mount hitch attaches to the bottom of the frame rails. The Synergy offroad attaches (I THINK) to the top of the frame rails. So...it should work, but you might want to send Jigg at synergy offroad an email asking how the winch mount attaches to the frame

Default RE: how to mount a winch

The winch mount attaches to the bottom of the frame utilizing the holes for the tow hooks and skid plate (four on each side). You will also have to cut a little bit off the front of the frame horns on each side to fit a winch in between the frame. Nothing that will sacrifice the strength or integrity of the frame, though.
