Ok community. Here is your time to shine. I'm looking to install a receiver in the front of my truck to mount my new Warn winch. I'm building a lightweight portable frame with 2" male adapter on it for easy hookup.

So what I'm asking is anyone with any pictures of a receiver installed on the front of their truck to chime in with pictures or a good detailed description of how they did it.

Plot twist! I already run a 8' plow on the front of my truck, so I have to build my receiver around the already in place plow frame. And keep it as high as I can. So good luck. +1 Internet to whoever gives me a good picture of a custom build one. -1 Internets to whoever links me to one you can buy off a site like summit.

I will post pictures when it's all done to show off what I ended up doing.

 

Here ya go as promised in the pm.

 

Some with winch installed. The receiver is made with all 1/4" and 3/8" thick steel.
I have never seen one put through the bumper like the ones I have built and IMO the hitches that go below the bumper hang to low on these trucks and reduce ground clearance.

 

To be honestly, I'm mostly impressed by the fact that you have your own drive up, show off ramps.

 

Ya I built that too! I wasn't trying to impress you or anyone...just giving you the pics and info you asked for in the pm you sent.

 

I still remember when you he first started building those it's definitely a nice thing to have laying around if you have the space

 

So is that huge garage in the background!

 

ya it's nice for servicing my trucks and sure works good for installing lifts and stuff.
