Front Mount Receiver

[Grand Mesa]

Looking for a front mount receiver which attaches through the tow hook holes with the horizontal receiver bar clearing the bumper just below the later model gen 4 Power Wagon winch. The receiver hitch mount would be positioned in front of the license plate. Similar to the Draw-Tite/Reese 65063 of which this model appears to block all access to the winch cable.

Not interested in the front mount receiver which attaches underneath due to it appears to reduce the front approach angle. My main issue though is that one would have to become a contortionist in order to change the 6.4L oil filter with a horizontal receiver bar further reducing access to it. With the winch assembly access to the oil filter is at a bare minimum as is.

That’s gonna be a custom fab job. You’ve got a real cocktail of low-demand wishes there, strongly doubt anybody makes that.

Ranch hand has some front bumper with a 2" receiver build in to them and should accommodate the front which. But it would mess up your front approach because they stick out in the front.

Thanks guys. Figured with the Power Wagon it would require some custom fabrication work due to the low demand. However....

Aluminess Products Inc. manufactures for late model Power Wagons front bumpers which take into account the position of the winch. It's too bad that a front receiver isn't an available option for it. It would be nice to be able to carry along a 300 pound dirt bike up front in order to further explore the territory shown in their photos.

Nice looking bump and only 75 lbs.

The installation of the bumper would require a second helper who is able to hold the Power Wagon's winch in position during the installation. I am reckoning that the Power Wagon 12,000 lb winch with its brackets exceeds 150 pounds.
