Default I was talking about my Cherokee at work and they laughed at me?

I was saying that I wanted to get a receiver bumper on the front and rear of my jeep then I started to explain why and they kept cracking up
.
I was just saying that it would be cool to mount my winch on the front bumper but if I got stuck I could pull it off and mount my winch in the rear and if I didn't need my winch I could toss it in the back or take it home and keep it in the garage that way my winch will be safe sounds like a good idea to me I just need electric plugs at both ends

I guess you should have asked them what they think is so funny. I've been wheeling for over 35 years, and I don't think that the way you explained it, that it is all that laughable.
Some times people are just a**holes!

I have the same plans for mine when funding allows. It allows to park a trailer in a tighter spot too

I had this idea a while back too!
Though im sure many others have thought of this as well, I really felt like it was a good idea for myself.

Yes I agree their are a ton of accessorys that plug into a two inch receiver from BBQ grills and bike racks cargo holders hitches you name it and you can always make your own stuff how about a chair or machine gun swivel or a cow catcher lol

The famous toilet seat on reciever? Lol. Really its a better option than the stationary front winch. I like it.

You could be filling some ridiculous stereotypes of truck owners.....

Consider their point of view, what if some fella started talking about antique clocks or lathe maintience or something and going very in depth on the subject, after awhile theirs a certain absurdity to it. They probably just have no idea what your talking about because they werent informend.

theyre out to get you because they like Toyatas
