Looking at this option for my Warn:

Has anybody installed this particular one or similar? Any pictures possibly?

There is ton of room behind the front bumper, under the hood. I would build a cross member and mount it there. Make the license plate flip up to expose the roller fairlead and you'd be good. But that's just what I would like to do.

So has any one put a front mount trailer hitch on their truck yet ? I'm thinking about buying one so that I will have easier way to put my boat in its spot. Pictures & where you got it would be nice to know too!

I have one installed on my '09

Straightforward install, you do need to put a notch in the lower valance. Did mine with cutting tip on a soldering gun.

Where did you get it & what did you pay? Do you have a picture of the front of your truck with it on. kind of what to see what it looks like with it on.

THis is a 2X4 so I added the tow hooks

Tasca had the parts. I use if for two things, moving my boat around the yard and a mounting point for a Warn winch. Length is perfect for the winch tray.
