Front BumperReplacement/Front Trailer Hitch Recommendations

Somewhere down in Mexico long time ago the rig was in a front impact. With the new hangers springs etc the front trailer hitch had to be cut off to accommodate the ranch hand grill guard which took the brunt of the impact. What types of replacement bumpers are you running? Have seen a few with built in front hitches given the price would be nice to coast in on someone else’s coat tails lol. Thanks

Probably going to order a curt front mount that goes in between the fog lights for now. Never know when you’ll need to roll doubles


I’m down to pull up to the @skyskijason facility for that mod 🫡 but won’t be learning how to weld and be confident it will hold a winch etc I appreciate the response and it’s great to see what someone can build out.

The owner of that truck did about 80% of the welding. It was his first time ever attempting to weld.
