    I have a 2003 Tacoma and I would like to install a front Hitch. Is this possible with a Skid Plate?

    Anything is possible depends just how much fabrication you can do or pay to have done .

    I would have no problem .

    Depends just which skid plate you have .

    What your use of the hitch is going to be

    The skid plate came with the 03 Tacoma and the front hitch is for a winch, my bicycle rack and even a D ring to be pulled. The rear hitch is occupied with my trailer.

    If your talking about the sheet metal under the engine compartment that is not a skid plate and should not be confused with a after market one

    Then just what Front bumper your planning to use.

    Planning to winch the front of the truck needs to reinforced .

    Put it this way it can be done It is not just going to be bolt on unless your going After Market bumper with the receiver installed
