Buying a MileMarker Winch, need some help tho

Post by **Walt** » Fri Oct 15, 2004 11:04 am

Hey folks, I'm considering buying a MileMarker Winch, BUT, I want a hidden hitch for the front of my truck and I can't weld--and I don't exactly have access to anyone who can weld. Anyone have any suggestions for a bolt-on application? Even if I have to piece it together.

Hidden Hitch has one for our trucks, but it will hand down below the bumper (I want something like you have Brule). Plus I have my push bar, so I have to work around this. I think if I can mount it in the same place as Brule's it might work.

Any thoughts?

I was digging through the shop and realized I have an old hitch laying around, just asking me to do the same thing.

Must buy chopsaw/bandsaw and mig welder ASAP!

Ok, found something else that might work. Reese makes a multi-fit class 3 hitch (designed to fit like 500 vehicles). It comes in 3-5 pieces plus about 1000 nuts/bolts/washers. I bought one from Wally World (Wal-Mart) here, and it fits behind the lower valance (with my Body lift). Now I just need to make some mounting brackets for it. I'll post pics soon.
