I was looking at installing a front hitch on the 250SD and when watching the install video at etrailer it shows taking the fog light out and taping the wires up.

I guess some of the supports of the hitch block the space for the fog lights.

SO is this any way to remount them or is there some other type of fog light you can use the existing wire hooks for.??

Want the hitch on front for moving trailer if needed and for 12,000 lbs winch, bike rack on front etc.

 

Install a different style of front hitch by Curt, that doesn't require the removal of your fog lights at all.

The different style bolts down low where the Blocker Beam resides, not up high behind the foglights (where it also blocks air flow to the power steering and transmission coolers).

 

As Y2KW57 mentioned there is the hitch that is lower and you do not need to move your fog lights. By the way....howdy neighbor.

Cool hitch. Very handy on the launch ramp - or when moving a trailer around in a tight driveway.

 

Man would that thing fill up with ice and snow though....

 

Not if you fire the Quarter Caliber at this:

 

Also come in real handy for stuff like this

 

ya got a model on that hitch.. how was the install?

Man, I like that thing A LOT!!!

 

Hitch model - CHT-31014

The install wasn't hard at all. I did the entire install without any help but a second pair of hands would have made it much easier.

Nice fabrication work on that topsider! Great idea, reps sent.

 

subscribing. been looking for something like that for a couple of years. Have not liked the others I have seen. This one looks simple and workable. Others I have seen, you are pulling out the loop hooks and the fog lights..... I like and use my loop hooks and fog lights....

 

Nice top creeper, want to build some more?

 

I'd have to charge more than you can buy a rolling one for. It is very stout however if I did it again I would try and lighten up the steel a bit, it is fairly heavy. It does knock down though and hangs nicely on the wall in two pieces.


I considered one of the cheaper folding ones but the reviews are not real great
