Front Receiver possible?

Recommended Posts

Hey all, I'm wanting to add a front receiver to my NVP SL so that I can carry bicycles while towing our TT.  Has anyone tried this or know how to do it?

hitchesonline.com shows one by Curt that fits the Titan pickup. The installation guide is well illustrated and should give you some idea if it is even feasible before calling them for specific measurements. A good fabricator should be able to adapt one for you.

I like Jerry's idea for the modified bull bar but I would want to somehow add an upper attachment before trusting a bull bar with that much weight hanging off of it.

Good luck and please keep us posted if you have any success with this project.

Some day, I'm gonna fabricate my own....

I want a small cargo rack up front to carry a little generator for when we dry camp  (no power on site) with the travel trailer.

I was thinking of working off the towing hook mounts - they are strong enough to pull the van out of ditch, I'm sure it's strong enough to carry 150lbs of gear / bike rack or whatever.

I'd make it a recessed pocket on each side in the tow hook openings, rather than one center receiver. That way, when the rack is off there isn't much of anything sticking out / noticeable and no need to cut a hole in the bumper. 

 

......but with all stuff going on everywhere else in my life, it might be a while 'till that project make it to the front of the line.
