Front Mount Receiver
Anyone have a front mount receiver? I am thinking of getting one for a winch mount. It says it mounts where the blocker beam is. I already removed mine.. Anyone have one and willing to take some pictures of it so I can see what it looks like mounted?
Thanks

I know the search feature is gone, but I remember a thread not too long ago about front receivers. I don't think it was with a winch though. The company that is selling it doesn't have pictures of it installed?

Yes, you can keep your foglights with the Bodiak.
https://bodiak.net
The Leed also allows you to keep the foglights.

The Drawtite requires removal of the foglights.

leave your lights in place
Hello All. I posted a few days ago about a front reciever I saw on a truck that looked real good and the factory fogs were in place. Well I now know that reciever is sold by Warn #70480. I contacted Warn and Todd Wright a technical service rep says in deed that is there little baby. I will say the one I saw installed looked like exactly what i've been looking for. Gotta run, my next letter is to Mrs Santa Claus.

The only problem I see with the bodiak hitch is that you loose the ability to use the tow hooks, if needed. I know I had to double line my winch back to my tow hooks to get out of that picture above. If I had one of those bodiak hitches, I wouldn't have been ablt to do that, as they clamp onto and cover your tow hooks.
The other thing is, with the bodiak hitch on the SD's, I believe they cover up the OEM fog lights anyways as the hitch comes straight across the area where the lights area.
I guess it will really depend on the use for the front hitch. Mine was more for the winch than moving trailers, so having the hard mount was more important than the fog lights. I guess I really didn't have a problem with lighting anyways. Hehe!
