Anybody done a custom front receiver hitch in the stock bumper?

 

I was in my garage Sunday night thinking the same exact thing! I want one so I can use my hitch hauler on the front when I'm pulling a camper. Great spot for the cooler! I hope someone on here has info.

 

trying to keep this on the 1st page. i'm curious now. somebody's gotta have something...

 

I know its not stock, but I have a front hitch on the solidly made and reasonably priced Olympic front rock bumper, $292 @ Quadratec. Pics on http://www.quadratec.com/products/12116_30X_PG.htm

 

I would like one as well, but I want to much else on the front bumper, so I don't think that I will find one with all the options I want. I would like to have a winch, have cutouts for the factory fogs, 2 tabs for aftermarket off road lighting and the receiver hitch on there. I know I'm asking a lot. It's ok to dream isn't it?

 

Ask and you get we have exact same needs.

I'm putting a winch plate on mine (details on another thread) so have on the front : winch, factory fogs, additional Detla fogs and a front hitch with D-ring.

Here's a photo with the Olympic bumper & JCW grille. Winch plate is on its way soon. The JCW grille is not everyone's taste but I like it.

 

I wouldn't trust a receiver hitch on the stock front bumper if it was the last thing on earth. Remove the plastic cover and look at the stock bumper frame. It's junk.

 

It would definately have to built off of the frame rails. I have seen aftermarket bolt-ons, but they stick out the front under the bumper. I would like to see it between the fog lights.

 

westchester, I didn't think you could put a winch on that bumper. Also, those Delta fogs, those are attached to the bumper and not the JCW grille?

 

I thought the same but called Olympic to ask. They have a JK with the same bumper and a winch plate bolted to rails in the space behind bumper. They're getting back to me as to which brand the winch plate was. My Delta fogs are bolted to pre-drilled holes on the JCW grille
