You will need to check your local DOT to determine if there are laws on carrying a bike rack on the front of your 2006 Toyota Tundra. You will need to consider that your headlights might be partially blocked which will make night time driving different and air flow to the radiator will be partially blocked so your truck might run a little hotter.

The Swagman XTC4 Bike Rack # S64665 would work as long as the weight of it and your bikes are not more than the tongue weight rating of your hitch.

If your truck bed is free you could also use a Truck Bed 4 Bike Carrier # UG2500-4.
