Has anyone tried mounting a front receiver in a stock FJ bumper?

I saw RunnerRyan's post but he used an after market bumper.

I have a Warn 9.5ti multimount winch system

...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.
