Default Front bumper hitch

Finally put the hitch on the front of my truck, I still want to put some lights on it.....I also want to put cab lights on and recess a set of lights on the bumper.... I'm thinking tomorrow of doing the 60/40 to 40/40 seat mod to prepare for a center console......Any other ideas comments?

Winch, trailers, recovering, random hitch mounted accessories, just about anything you could use the rear one for

Cool. So if I was moving a trailer or boat you could manuver from the front...

Are there kits or did you hand fabricate it?

Pretty much, makes parking them in tight spots easier

They make bolt on one's but most people cut and weld them from hitches they find for cheap

It was actually cheaper for me to buy a used receiver and cut it to how I wanted it to sit. I had a guy at the local plow shop weld it in for me, all in all cost bout 95 bucks....because I am off work this week I did the front seat mod, after weighing building vs putting in an expo console I have decided to build one how I want it I can make it fit my amp and sub better than just laying behind my seat

I've decided to just put a lil money into my truck because it's paid off, 73,xxx miles still had a lot of mile left my buddy had a 94 ranger that had 186,xxx on it when he got rid of it due to a transfer case and transmission issue
