Almost finished fabbing up my hitch reciever for the front of my truck. I did this so I can mount my winch to a hitch and have front or rear winching capabilities. Took 1/4" channel steel and cut the bottom off so it's 4" tall. Then cut 45 degree cuts in the top. Plan on bending them tomorrow and getting it welded up. Im then welding 2 D-rings to it for extra measure. Photos will be added when finished. I will have about $12 total in this. FYI: all edges will be cleaned up. I know it looks rough right now, thanks to the acetylene torch...lol. This will be bolted through the bumper mount (on the frame with four 1/2" grade 8 bolts.

Progress as promised. Cut 1/2" of 2" ID square tubing for the gusset on the reciever. Drilled 21/32" hole for the 5/8" pin. Should be welded up and on the truck this weekend.
