Installed the hitch over the weekend. I like how easy it is to mount and how high its off the ground. Only issue I had is they forgot 4 bolts in the mounting kit. Ill be putting my chest style tool box in the front so I can put gear in it such as chairs and a 2000 Honda.

Nice job :) I like all the pics too. I like the horns, the bar with urinals, the rock feature pool........you're living the dream. Very nice.

Did the license plate mount above or below the receiver before you mounted the hitch?

Very nice. I've been considering a front receiver myself.Will you get a chance to determine if coolant temperature is affected?

Im thinking If you keep an eye on EGTs and coolant temps all would be fine.

I like the mount being higher, but the main disadvantage is I need a front license plate! That's why I had to go for an under bumper model.

Instead of mounting the license plate UP from the bottom license plate holes, you could mount it DOWN from the top license plate holes.
The difference between Ford, GM or Dodge may make this point moot.

I wonder how to check for intercooler temperature difference. Does the OBD2 port show intercooler temp???
