Front Receiver Hitch?

Anyone out there have a front receiver hitch on thier F150? I am toying with the idea of a receiever mount winch since struggling with a moose this year hunting. Looking for some pictures to see what it would look like on my 2000 F150 S/C. I have the factory fog lights in the valence and have only found pictures of them with the fog lights in the chrome bumper (1999 style). Thanks.

I built one for my '02 S/C

I have a rod rack for surf fishing and it really comes in handy. Also works great for positioning the camper in the back yard. Mine is totally hidden by the license plate when not in use.

I'll post a few pics when I get my hands on the digital camera.

Later,

They are also good on 2WDs for launching/hauling boats from ramps or shorelines where the rear wheels would otherwise lose traction from getting too wet or bogged in mud.

The local truck accessories store found a front bolt-on 2" receiver hitch for my '00 F-150, it bolts to the frame directly. I use it for my cradle-mounted warn winch and for moving a travel trailer easily in a tight parking situation. It sits below the bumper, a little low, but I could have a tongue fashioned which would work better. It does the job, I just have to be careful not to "plow" the ground on bumps.

Bought a Warn front receiver and multipoint winch setup. Bolts right on using the tow hooks bolts. Hides out of sight. Easy to do. Not even noticable.
