Do you use any type of strap from the body of the bike rack back to the hood for stabilizing the bikes while on the road? I do not know where such a strap would be secured but I have seen some tuck them under the hood and close the hood on the end of the strap thereby securing the strap that runs from the rack under the hood lid. Does this question makes sense? Maybe such a support straps would not be required with this setup.My Tundra is a 2012 and I am assuming the skid plate is similar to yours. My bike rack looks to be much the same style as in your pics.Thanks.

Mike F.I dont think a strap for this type of bike rack would be needed. Even though I did use a rachet strap and made the connection from the tow hooks to the bike rack to keep it from bouncing at one time. Except for that one time I have never had to use a strap at all. Also use an Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock to keep the connection secure and tight. I make sure the bolts to the hitch and the hitch extender adapter are tighten to the fullest and the velcro straps that go around the bike tire rims are tight and secured. The hooks that go down on the bike frame are pushed down and then tighten. I have traveled throughout California with these bikes and never had a problem. Of course I always check the connections. I bought several bolts and washers for the hooks to tighten in case the bolts strips which has happened twice.Alex

Alex- can you tell me what other parts extension, lock, etc you purchased from e-trailer for your application. I just received this unit from them. Also, how did you cut the hole for oil filter removal? Would a Dremel tool work for this? Thank you for any assistance you can provide..Thank you, Terry .

Terry K. I also bought a Hitch Extender for a 2 Trailer Hitch 7 which made the hitch come even with the front bumper on my 2014 Toyota Tundra. I bought several other accessories to go with the front hitch which was the Anti-rattle with lock on the 7 trailer hitch receiver there is no swaying while on the road.For your question onhow did you cut the hole for oil filter removal? Would a Dremel tool work for this?I guess a dremel would work but what I used was a metal snip cutter. I bought one at home depot for about $9.00 and to start the cut I drilled a large hole at the corner of the square to be cut and then I just snipped along the square like a pair of scissors. I then filed the opening and on the square metal piece I also bought drilled several holes as I attached it to the skid plate.

David or anyone!Nice writeup and photo to help us in this purchase. Can you tell me if you had to remove the hitch to complete an oil change sir? It looks like you need to remove the hitch to get the skid plate off, but wasnt sure. Thanks,Pete

This front reciever will need to be removed to do an oil change. The 2 toyota dealers that have worked on my tundra did not have a problem removing it. They did not charge me any more for an oil change.

Remember that the hardware included with hitches is usually torque-to-yield, TTY. This means that the hardware is only meant to be torqued once. If removed, the hardware should be discarded and replaced. The instructions do specify a 4 inch hole to be cut that allows easy access for oil changes. Its at the top of the pages in an in-set diagram. Its an easier solution than removing each time and it doesnt significantly reduce the protection the shield provides.

It’s been perfect. Modifying the skid plate so it doesn’t have to be removed for oil changes was the best idea. The hitch makes hauling an extra cooler and fishing rods so much more convenient.

The hitch looks great on your Tundra, Ray! And I agree, It's hardly noticeable. What are you going to be using the hitch for?

Glad you like it, Timothy! Sorry you had to get longer bolts though. I don't think I have run into that before. Do you know what length you purchased? Sweet bike too! Do you use it for trail riding or motocross stuff? Some day I will find me an older bike that I will fix up and turn into a trail rider. Some day.
Do you have a question about this Front Receiver Hitch?

It won't be so bouncy up there either, great idea Gary! What kind of bike rack do you have, and how do you like it?
