Front hitch and bike rack

Installed a Curt 31023 hitch on the front of our Silverado. Using a Swagman XC Cross-Country 2-Bike Hitch Mount Rack for our two bikes. No issues with
Visibility. We did not want to install a hitch on the rear of our Avalanche.

I didn't want to carry the bikes on the back of the Copper Canyon, but also not on the front of the TV, so I designed this and had a local welder put it all together.

Nice job on the pin mount. I carry kayaks on my truck allot so I could not go that route.

Been carrying bikes on the front for 4 years now. We use a tray type carrier and love it. Other than a few bugs to clean off, it's a very easy and effective way to go.
