Availability of Front Receiver for 2017 Jeep Wrangler that Attaches to Outside of Frame Rails

Question:

I have an after market winch attached via the same inside of the frame bolts and sleeve. do you have a hitch that will be able to attach to the outside of either side frames, since a similar slot exists, or a hitch that will be able to use the same attachment that the winch is attached, but not up in the slot on the side of the inside of the frame? My jeep is a 2017 rubicon, and the winch is not going to be removed.

Unfortunately, the front receivers offered for the 2017 Wrangler JK fit to the inside of the frame rails, we don't offer one that installs in any other manner. One option that would allow you to use both the winch and the front mounted receiver would be to use a receiver winch mount like # BDW20155.

If you went this route, you could temporarily disconnect the winch when the receiver is needed for other purposes by using a quick disconnect on the wiring. I've linked to the quick disconnects we offer.
