Default Re: H3 front receiver

The best thing to do on an H3 is to buy a receiver, cut a square hole in bumper and weld it into the cross frame support that now comes equipped on 08+ H3s. The earlier H3s didn't have this cross member under the bumper but it will retrofit. I have seen this cross member on our 08 H3 but have not checked to see how strong it is. Worst case, a stronger one can be easily made or gussets can be added to the OEM brace. I would turn the the receiver tube so the hole is vertical like on the H2 so it would stay fairly flush up against the front end.
