I have a Aries front brush guard and still want a front receiver for only a ice chest. Ive seen the Curt and etrailer front receivers for our JK's but the Brush Guard takes up the holes and one of the bars on the brush guard would go across where the receiver hole would be.

Would it be ok to bolt on a Harbor Freight 2 bolt universal receiver to the cross member below the bumper?
Maybe even running 2 support wires off the brush guard to take off some weigh from the receiver. Any thoughts?

 

Quadra-tec has a front receiver that bolts to the inside of the frame rails , "Hidden Hitch" brand I think.
This would be stronger, safer for all uses.Have it on my 2012 JKU, very handy.Straightforward install.

 

I checked it out already. It uses the same mounting holes as the brush gaurd. So it wont fit. Thanks anyways.
