Front Hitch Receiver on TRD Pro

[Nirav1122]

Good Afternoon,

I was wondering if anyone has installed a 2" Front Hitch Receiver on their TRD Pro. It seems more complicated due to the skid plate and recovery hooks. I'm looking to install a front receiver to i can carry my cooler and fishing poles in the front.

I had one on my 1990 Land Cruiser, it was a nice feature. Think it might've been OME (Old Man Emu)

Thanks!

I wish I could take credit. I got my local welder to do it. Let me know if you want pictures.

The Curtis one will work if you are not worried about approach angle or clearance

If you want something that doesn't impact your approach angle or clearance you can get the CBI hidden hitch which goes behind your front bumper cover: T4R5 Hidden Front Receiver Hitch | CBI Offroad Fab

There are two different mounts in the attached pictures. One mount has two strip brackets that attach to the same bolts as the skid plate. When I got my first oil change the dealership asked if they could remove that mount because it made changing the oil more difficult. The mount holds extremely well without those brackets. If you can't see the pictures then let me know. It's pretty humid here and I was crawling on the concrete wearing a tie.

I think the first three pictures are the original mount.

Then I took a couple of pics just a minute ago (They look pretty hazy) and that probably doesn't show much different, but there they are anyway.
