my front receiver
A buddy and myself built a front receiver for my truck, looks and turned out awesome, now i just gotta get myself a winch and multi-mount. my friend was actually pretty impressed with the hitch, it looks perfect :)
pics!
the hitch i started with... off a mid 90's full size chevy.
brackets cut off and made to size
all welded up
bumper back on
and light bar back on
licence plate receiver mounts are also going to be made so i can take my plate off easily when i need to use it
and the rear bumper i ordered material for today to be done soon (minor changes of course; built in receiver, and tow hooks moved over attached to the mounts)
its going to fit between my bed exactly like a roll pan, just much more useful.

thanks guys. im actually really happy with where it comes out, i cut into the cross member so i wouldn't have to hack my valance, but when i got my bumper on i was surprised to see that it stops basically perfectly flush with the bumper. Howells, it cost me $40 for the hitch, and $20 to cover hydro for my friend to weld it so maybe, but you'd have to hack your billet grille.
anyways, all in all... i love it :)
