Front hitch for ST

[Blake Zeal]

First post over here so sorry if it isnt in the right place. I am fabricating a front mount hitch for the first gen ST.





The top plate is just for strength. I have it tacked for now but will finish welding it on monday.[Broken External Image]:[Broken External Image]:

That's a great idea. Interested to see how it will be mounted. What specific task requires it?

Good idea for moving campers in a campground our boats around in a dealer's lot!

I am making it act as a pulling point when I get stuck. I have gotten stuck twice, once I had to crawl in a river to get to my crossmember and the other I had to use my light bar which I am not to thrilled about. I also wanted to make this to mount a winch in the future.



It will bolt to the two tabs off the frame. I basically copied this design...

Looks good! Can we see the finished product?

Thanks. Here is it all welded and painted. I will get pics of it mounted tomorrow.

Here it is installed. The clevis sits about flush with the face of the bumper.
