Warn 25855 front mount receiver will work with minor modifications.
That’s only if you intend to keep your front tow/tie down shackles.
If not, direct bolt on.
The two brand new ones I installed on my trailers over two years ago or so are already showing small cracks in the rubber.
They simply were not made to last the life of the trailer.
Sun and heat are killers on the rubber.
Mine sit in the sun a few hours each day and shade the rest.
Once the...
Found the picture I was talking about in an earlier post.
2” receiver mounted under bumper.
I thought it was mounted direct to bumper but I clearly remembered it wrong.
Rethinking plans now.
Check the wiring coming from the GP card housing very close.
Others have had old wiring break, but the insulation showed no external damage.
Agree also about the grounds.
Just a thought.
I don’t think I will need the swivel Pintle since I will only moving the M101A2s and the Nf2d around on fairy flat surfaces.
Anything more than that and I will just turn the truck around.
The pintle I will use is the basic 4 bolt, non-swivel like pictured in the above post.

Exactly the info I’m looking for.
Can you post pictures of the backing you used?
Plan is to plasma cut two pieces of 1/4” steel roughly the size of a license plate.
One for front side of bumper and one for the back side.
The bumper steel itself will be sandwiched between the two plates...
I have a shop, lift, welder and stock steel and can fabric something much more involved IF I have to.
Would like to see what other guys have done when they attached the Pintle directly to bumper.
Can I use just a simple backing plate and call it good or ??
Want to know what has worked for...
Would prefer not to go that route.
It will only be used to park trailers and move around my NF2D light tower.
The NF2D is heavy and would like to see the backing plates used so I don’t bend bumper.
Well everyone on this site loves pictures.
A request has been made for a picture of your truck, not just the bumper.
It doesn’t have to be for sale to post a picture of it.
Guys like to see the truck your asking questions about.
Revival of old thread.
Want to install Pintle on the front bumper on my M1008A1.
Any issues with this setup?
What backing is recommended?
Pics would be great, including the backing plates, etc..
I did find two pictures from another members cucv.
I know there are front mount 2” receiver...
