Front Mount Receiver for Winch
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.

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.
