Front Hitch Receiver w/ D-Ring Shackle Tabs (HEAVY DUTY) for Jeep Liberty KK.
The Idea: To have a removable winch mounted to a tow receiver plate with solid D-Rings attachments. Recessed design, low overhang with minimal approach angle loss. To be mounted behind below bumpers in stock mounting location. The front tow receiver has many uses and comes in quite useful. 100% Bolt On. No Drilling required.
In Summary as stated by a fellow Jeeper, "You guys just put all front tow hitch manufacturer's to shame with this product". It's probably true.
Our KK Front Tow Hitch Receiver w/ Shackle Tabs are welded to 1/4" plates base mounting plates. The Center tube is a 2" x 2" by .188 wall thickness. 2" Hitch receiver is welded to center tube along with 1/4" thick gusset plate for reinforcement. Mounted to your frame rails with Grade-8 hardware and frame sandwich plates which are also 1/4" thick. Take Recovery Seriously!!!
Grade 50 is a high strength, low alloy steel that finds its best application where there is need for more strength per unit of weight. Less of this material is needed to fulfill given strength requirements than is necessary with regular carbon steels.
Grade 50 is used in general plate applications when the plate will be riveted, bolted, or welded. Grade 50 is a Columbium-Vanadium steel that offers a minimum yield of 50,000 PSI. In addition, ASTM A572 Grade 50 is noted for its increased resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Grade 50 contains more alloying elements than plain carbon steel and thus is somewhat more difficult to form. Grade 50 is more difficult to cold work, but can be successfully bent or shaped but requires more force than plain carbon steel.
ASTM A572 Grade 50 is considered a "workhorse" grade and is widely used in many applications. Steel mills produce channel and heavy beams with Grade 50. It is commonly used in structural applications, heavy construction equipment, building structures, heavy duty anchoring systems, truck frames, poles, liners, conveyors, boom sections, structural steel shapes, and applications that require high strength per weight ratio.
