Front Mount Hitch Receiver

[exclusivebeef]

Is anyone running one of these for a winch or other purposes? Pics would be great. Thanks

That's a great find! I communicated with hitchweb.com in the past. They said they custom designed one for a 4Runner once, and could do the same for me if I sent measurements.

This is the first one I've seen offerred pre-assembled.
I would also like to see a picture of one installed.

I wonder where exactly the receiver is accessed on the 4Runner?
How far does it stick out from the bumber?
Does it interfere with the license plate?

My main purpose would be to mount a bike carrier.
I wonder if the bikes would block the headlights?
Would the bikes block driver vision?

When I Googled for a picture, I found a recent thread right here that I never saw.
