Has anyone picked up the Snowsport front hitch receiver and installed it? If so, how do you like it and what do you use it for?

I am expecting mine soon and plan to use it for a bike rack and fine maneuvering my TT. :)

I have one and it installs easily and comes in handy when moving a trailer. I do have the snowsport plow but haven't used it in quite a while. Its a backup of a backup as I have tractors with hydraulic snow blowers.

The Last Ranger, did you cut away the air deflector as they instruct for installing or just remove it entirely?

I just cut just enough of the rubber to get it to fit, but left enough if I removed the mount it wouldn't look bad or be a problem.
So the outside pieces don't flap around? They looked loose in the video instructions.

Not That I notice, haven't had any issues but sure like the fact that I can hook up my trailer!!
I've been looking at a winch setup from harbor freight but can't seem to justify the cash layout because I don't go offroad and I have an atv with a winch.

Yup the hitch, the rubber all looks great as mine does. My truck is white with that lower trim in shiny black so my hitch blends in and doesn't show up like yours against the grey trim. I have a low trailer so the hitch height is perfect compared to other solutions.

How was the install? I was looking for the installation instructions online but couldn't find them :(
