Here are some more recent pics with front tow rings and inverted step bumper (w/ custom license plate mount) mounted in front receiver. This is how I use it on regular days when plow or winch are not required:

Here's some pics of the fixed front receiver hitch. I also fabbed up a tire carrier. I made the tire carrier height adjustable so I can put it up front or on the rear tow hitch. The two hitches are different heights off the ground, hence the need for adjustments.
P.S. Love those Duratracs! Just put those on a few days prior to all this.

Tire carrier that can go on the front or rear. On the rear I can lift the glass with the tire mounted but I have to pull the hitch pin and remove the carrier and spare to open the hatch door.
I didn't take a pic yet on the front but will. Notice on the pic of the carrier, I hadn't yet drilled the holes in the upright tube. Later I drilled a series of holes that give me several height options.
Yuk, did some adjustments after paint and scratched it all up. Gotta repaint soon.

That's great! I like the way the tire is nice and low in the back and doesn't block the window. I wonder if you could use a hinge like on a Thule bike rack that allows the tire to swing back so the door can be opened without removing.

Thanks. I dont know how I would be able to do a hinge effectively and keep it adjustable for front and rear. I'll think on it.Originally Posted by thance

Very cool. I'm digging the idea of a front receiver and will probably get one when I order the 4xGuard Matrix. Another feature of use would be a front step when working on the engine. I'm not overly tall, so getting under the hood on the Commander could make it a little easier to see.
