4X Innovations Front Hidden Hitch Receiver Installation

Installing 4X Innovations Front Hidden Receiver Hitch on a 2022 Tacoma. Front hidden hitch receiver weighs and costs less than an aftermarket bumper so less front end droop or change in handling and driving. Unlike hitch receivers that mount below the bumper, it doesn’t interfere with approach angles or aerodynamics. This is not rated for hauling trailers, it’s made for winching. Up to 9,500 pound or 4,309 kg pulling weight. 12,000 pound or 5,443 kg winch is rated only for 9,120 pound or 4,136 kg on the second wrap. To use the first wrap would require double line rigging to not exceed ratings and potential damage. With a receiver hitch front and back, can have the winch where it’s needed for direct pulling. Remove the winch when it’s not needed so it’s out of danger and no extra weight hanging out. Only covering highlights of how to remove the grill and bumper as there are many videos that go into great detail on how to do it. Kit comes with all the needed hardware but you need to reuse the nuts that mount the aluminum crumple towers to the frame. Replaced the stock tow hitch bolts with 50 mm long 10.9 hardened bolts and used nylon locking hardened nuts for mounting the crash bar instead of what was supplied. You will have to clean and paint the hidden winch as it’s arrives bare metal. Also painted the aluminum crash bar to minimize corrosion from the aluminum being up against steel. Youi will need 10, 14, 17, and 19 mm along with 5/8” wrenches and sockets. A flat bladed screw driver, flat plastic pry bar, and plastic rivet tool. An impact driver, extensions, and torque wrench will speed this up. Shouldn’t take more than 4 hours to do this. Did have to make a modification to get the front tow hook mounted as half of one bolt hole was covered over by the hidden hitch. This may be intentional but wanted to keep the tow hook. The screw and rivet locations of the grill and bumper are the same for all gen 3 models, but the trim pieces vary by model. To paint aluminum, clean the metal, then prime with self-etching primer to remove the oxidation layer and follow with a top coat.
