Front Mounted Receiver Hitch - 21/07/04 01:52 PM

After searching, I know several members here have these.

I am looking at getting one so I can install a hitch mounted bike rack to carry 4 bicycles. Does anyone use their front mounted receiver to carry bikes?

We tow a camper with the rear hitch and I am looking for a way to get our bikes to the campground as well.

Forget about the roof, that's where the canoe is.

Thanks!

I would be worried aboot visibility up front! Cheapest and safest way would be to add a bike rack to your camper.

I have been interested in a front hitch mounting point for a portable winch...that way I can move it from front to rear when need be.

Does anyone here have a front hitch mounted on their X, and if so I would love to see a picture. I found a thread on XOC that "had" a picture but it is long gone by now.

I would love to have something tuck back and out of the way and maybe stick out through the facia.

I tried putting a bike rack in front... will not work. [Freak]
