what is the functionality of the front receiver hitch?? besides a removable winch because i think you already said that...

Sometimes it's easier to park things such as boats, trailers, ski doo's.

RE: front hitch mount

Don't bother with the hidden hitch mount. I tried it and quickly took it right back off, your approach/departure angles go to crap.

If you really want one, though, I'll gladly sell you my old parts much cheaper than you will find new. Comes with the hidden hitch, a winch mount plate, and all the hardware.

RE: front hitch mount

I think I'm going to pick something up similar to what blackbear has. I've seen them for sale on the web before. Then I'll probably through a Warn with synthetic it to reduce some weight. What do you all think?

RE: front hitch mount

You will have to crank your t-bar at least one turn to compensatefor the extra weight in the front.

I have them cranked to level it out but thanks for the heads up. Would you be willing to take some close ups of your design or even possible postsome spec, dimensions, and what material you used? I did see on another post you said about making one up for somebody but shipping to PA might be $$$. If not it's youor design and that is totally understandable.
