Just watch the jack if the angle gets to crazy it will slide right out. Its best to have it in 4 wheel drive and in park so it wont roll. Really a rear bumper with a hitch in it would salve all your problems too.

True, would it do tow just as well as a receiver?

I have yet to try it as I'm making my first bumper like this but I would guess so. I'm doing it to put my winch in the bumper for recovery.

The Peep has an older Reese, the Peep is older, I've extracted with it, fact, couple years ago I picked the Peep up in the air with front end loader chained to the hitch, hung it like a prize fish, not for everyone, don't try this at home. Hence the Reese system is reliable.

So you could mount it in the receiver?

Just a tip on were to find a new one. When I made my first front bumper I used 3/8ths plate for the mounts the only places I could find a new one much less a longer one was ether the local Jeep store that was $15 for one bolt not longer like I needed or the local Jon Deer dealer for $8. Its a metric bolt and in my area couldn't find it just anywhere.
