    Is this thread dead? Where the anglers at??

    Heres my old set up

    Weekdays during striper season I drive with one pole on top to fish real quick before and after work, saves me the hassel of clipping trees and wires driving around town.

    I have recently taken off the front rack. I put on a front hidden hitch

    And I just ordered a fold down cooler fishing rack to go off the hidden hitch

    How did you attach it to the front and where? Is it a whole receiver hitch or just the square part?

    Its a whole reciever called "front hidden hitch". I got lucky and got one from a TW member for half the cost. 002BC072-BA75-4D22-B95A-4D487E20072D_zps_70aaf6203e097a68e9a27b0a44289306b3238ea4.jpg

    It goes right behind the square aluminum behind the bumper. You just take out the two spacers and the receiver fits in it's place and everything bolts back up. 831F7FA9-2440-4AE1-8E5A-24DEA1ECF57D_zps_e06ed47b6c85e31034dfb93852d6524433437927.jpg

    It's heavy duty. I believe the original intent is for a portable winch. I have all intensions of a cooler rack haha. It's great because you lose zero ground clearance.

    How are you able to even bother fishing when you have that awesome beach to drive around on?
