I recently acquired a new trailer and I’m working on installing a receiver for a winch. The toolbox is welded against the front rail, so that adds a level of difficulty. Putting a winch in the box would be ok, but there’s not enough room to mount the fairlead. I’m thinking about laying a piece of channel across the front and using two of the stake pockets to hold it, and also fastening it to the front rail. Another option, which would look better is to fasten some channel iron perpendicular to two of the crossmembers, drill through the deck and fasten a flat plate on top with a receiver welded to it. Pictures of rough mock-up and bottom of trailer. Thoughts or ideas?
