...that we use at the office (field geophysics) and I have a front mount on my '85 4Runner. Its extremely handy, because:
1. it can be mounted front or back where you need it most 2. it can be shared between trucks 3. you don't have to carry that 100lb weight around when you aren't using it. Saves gas! 4. you can remove it temporarily in the field if you need the approach angle
I looked around underneath. My first career was structural engineering so I can see at least 4 ways to add it. I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if someone has already done it.

I would bet you could take it to a trailer shop, and they could install something there, or if you are handy at welding, it wouldn't be too hard to build one that sits behind the stock bumper. You could probably just cut a 2" square hole through the mesh under the face of the bumper, and you wouldn't even see it.
If you were nearby, I could probably build you one...

I bought one from curt manufacturing,it was a perfect fit. the only problem was it was only 12" off the ground.I have a 10,000 lbs rated winch that is on a hitch mount so the 12" ground clearance would put my winch in the mud. since then I've built a custom front bumper that has a 2" receiver welded on it so I removed the curt brand. hope this helps.
