I've been thinking of a front receiver as an alternative to tow hooks. Are Curt Receivers any good, do they tie into the frame well enough? I've seen them as low as $115 shipped. I'm mostly sick of looking for tie points for the canoe, but I could conceivably go somewhere that that would require me to have tow points. http://www.thehitchstore.com/class-i...ch-p-2057.html

 

i was also thinking about this for my gf's XJ but i was going to use it for a winch basket. a buddy of mine has one on his f350 and one on his ZJ and he is really happy with them, but thats just my .02

 

I ran across a youtube installation video

 

I've decided this is kind of cool.

 

I picked up a front receiver for mine. Easy install, uses the sway bar mounts and you drill 2 holes to secure the front half.



Trim the air dam if you have it.


Spent approx $125 on it. Forget the brand.

 

It would be like having a giant Swiss army knife or Edward Scissor Jeep!
