Hello all,

Here are some pictures of me front receiver hitch. Again due to lack of my computer knowledge I will be adding 3 replies each with a different picture.

A side view. I cut a hole in the lower front fascia. It came out great

Mat, did you fab the front receiver yourself or is someone making them for the Avs now? Great truck by the way!

Matt,

Your front receiver hitch is great!! Is it a standard receiver or customer?? Did you get someone to mount it for you or did you do it??

I've been looking for a 'rugged' brush guard like a "Ranchhand" to put on my truck and I was hoping to find one with a receiving hitch already integrated into the brush guard, but haven't had any luck. I might have to go with a set-up like yours....would love to get more info on how you did yours....

Looks super - this is really the one gotta-have-it item I've been looking for. More details please!

I've been talking to the people over at HiddenHitch about a front mounted receiver for the Avalanche. They might develop one if there's enough interestI approached Draw-Tite and Reese, but they werent interested.
How much interest is there here for a group buy?
And....
If they made one, how would you feel about cutting the fascia just below the license plate for the receiver or would you want it below the bumper, which would compromise ground clearance?

I'm definitely interested. I've asked Warn about this several times over the last year and keep getting the "We're working on it" response. I already have the winch.

I see the pic attachments are no longer in this post. Anyone have a pic of an AV with the front hitch on it?

This is something I'm going to get done too!

Check here and here.

I?m working with a local shop in the twin cities area on fab'n a hitch to the front for the purpose of using the warn hitch mounted receiver. I?m going to need it to come from under the cladding because of the bull bar on mine. I haven?t been able to find a hitch for it from a manufacture yet though
