front hitch

Hey Folks. New here. Have searched a bit online and a few pages deep here on the Racks, Hitches, and towing forum, but cant seem to find any concise information regarding a aftermarket (or Honda) front hitch for my 2011 EX. I have a metalworker friend who is willing to build me one and a friend...

Just picked up a 2008 ASM AWD MT E today. I love it already, I think the dogs do too. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone out there new of a way to attach a full-size spare to the front of the vehicle? I'm thinking attach a Toad hitch and add a hitch mounted spare tire carrier. Like this one...
