Front mounted hitch for 3rd Gen 4runner

Hey Guys

anyone one ever installed a front mounted hitch on a 3rd gen 4runner? They make em for the 4th gen but not for the 3rd. I need to have one custom made.

I currently carry a 250lbs dirt bike on a carrier attached to the rear hitch, and want to add another one to the front so i can carry my 2nd dirt bike which is about the same weight.

any idea if this will be too much for the truck to handle?

towing a trailer is a last option for me.

thanks,

I don`t know the weight would be lighter than a snow plow.

I wonder would it have an effect on the air flow into the radiator.

Building a hitch is no big deal.

Why don`t you want to go with a trailer?? That would be easier

Ive seen it done before. You'd probably have to make something yourself. I dont think it would block enough air to make a difference
