About 5 years ago a guy on the other forum was making bumpers and such for Commander owners. I volunteered for a prototype front receiver hitch at a reduced price.

He had a good design and good fab skills. sfter I mounted it I discovered the insert tube had somehow been tweaked. ..possibly before he built it. He stopped his business and went back to college. I was able to.deal with the tweaked tube by grinding the insert on.my winch cradle.

But now I want more flexibility in using various inserts. So I uninstalled it a couple of days ago, cut the tube off and welded a new one on. Tomorrow ill paint it then reinstall it in s few days.

I'm going to build a front spare tire carrier for it.

I'm surprised more people dont go with a front hitch for their winch.

I'll post some pics soon.
