does anyone have a receiver for a 2" hitch on the front of their Disco II? How is it attached and where? I would like it for a portable winch and for manuevering a small trailer. |

Joel, I don't know of anyone that's done that. Problem is strength. You have to go to an aftermarket bumper to get the strength needed for winching, and then the winch sits right where the receiver needs to go. You could mount it lower, but then your approach angle goes to hell. No real way of pulling it off without some major fab work and serious compromises regarding approach angle. |

There was at least one past DiscoWeb thread on this subject. Search the archives. Atleast one person has done a modified front receiver winch setup. |

Yeah, it's been discussed, but I can't remeber anyone ever following through with it once they realized what was involved. Been on the Yahoo list since it started and cam't remember it actually being done. Of course, my memory isn't what it used to be. Or is it? Geeze, I can't remeber!  |

The thread I remember had pictures of a D1 with a front 2" receiver for a "portable" winch. |
