Front Receiver Hitch and Gun Rack

[Triplel40]

I've had some extra metal laying around from my headache rack, so today I decided to break out the welder, and this is what I came up with. I'm going to bolt it to the bottom of the frame with the existing tow-hook holes. Too dark to take more pictures of it, but here it is. Still need to paint it and drill out the holes to mount it, and will probably put a D-ring hitch in it for now, maybe a winch mount later. Will add more pics tomorrow.

Always wondered why people put them on the front?

As I said in the first post, I'm eventually going to have a hitch-mounted winch for it. Somewhat like this: http://www.warn.com/truck/mounting-systems/multi_mount.shtml

I've seen a lot of guys with front receiver hitches launching their boats like that. A LOT easier to see what the boats doing going down the ramp. Especially with a monstrosity of a camper sitting in the back.
