[martin_95037]

so another "project for the future

I recently watched a video of one of my favorite Youtube Channels having a 2 inch receiver hitch on the front of an F 250. This is a project that I now have on my list.

after do a google search for "2 inch receiver hitch ford explorer front bumper" I found my way here.

I believe I have to buy this one for my Explorer.

Has anyone ever done this before or something like it? I have gone through more ten pages in this section of the forum and have not found any relavent data.

I just did a search for "front receiver" in this modified 02-05 section and saw more than a few threads of others having done it...

This is on my to do list also. I think I'm just going to fab up my own though. I want it to be above the frame and not below it.

I ended up make this for my bronco but for the explorer I'll have to make something that keeps the stock bumper.
