Front hitch winch adapter

pSYChedXJ · Oct 4, 2006

Anyone have experience with these:

Trying to consider options for a winch without going for a winch bumper and lugging the bumper around 24-7.

Never used it, but I think it would be a good idea if that is what your after, I think it will look funny, but if only on the trail, go for it. I am sure it will mess up your approach angles quite a bit however.

I think this is the route I'm going....

A couple guys here in the NW run a similar setup. PM GI John. Also Slacker87XJ, XJLaredo, and maybe a few more run a front hitch. That may be an option I might consider myself, if the Heep doesn't become a tralier queen.

*Warn and others make a whole kit with winch that will fit front or rear.
You only mount it when you need it.

I have a warn one and it is really awesome to be able to move it from front to back if there aren't any anchors in one direction. Whenever I am not using it, it goes in the back cargo area and I have a cheap 2" receiver type thing to hold it down.

I have seen 2offroad use his and it is very stout. But I'd rather have the bumper. JMHO!
