Palmetto 5.0

Hey All,

I installed a Go Rhino push bar on my truck earlier this year, and while it technically retains the factory tow hooks, there really isnt much room for a recovery strap to go.

I think the best solution for me would be a front receiver where my plate is, as I could then attach either a portable winch or recovery shackle. There is room for this with the push bar.

I've seen some others custom fabricate a front receiver but not sure would work with my push bar.

Any thoughts? I tried to capture the setup with these pics...

Thank you!

If your year front receiver fits like my year front receiver, it would work with your push bar setup. Your push bar stops where your fascia stops, the front receiver on my year sits right underneath that fascia.

I appreciate the input - I am looking for the hitch to come through where the license plate is as ground clearance / approach angle is important to me.

Neat. Make friends with a structural welder and have fun.

Get a Rough Country hidden winch mount and bolt a winch in the hole, it's what I did.



Or you could look up forum member Feathermerchant, he used the same hidden winch mount to bolt a front receiver to it, that way he can put his winch on the front or rear for use.

Thanks Rnl...I love the look of the hidden winch but think I want the flexibility of running it from the front or rear receiver. Ill check out Feathermerchants.
