After having the Albino Rhino for about a year, I decided it was time to install a front hitch receiver and a winch plate. My last truck, Goldilocks, had a bumper that was already setup for such things but this truck’s front bumper was never built to have a winch nor did it have a good recovery point.
My buddy Travis who pilots The Honey Badger helped me fab up what we needed for the Albino Rhino. He’s a really good fabricator.
Here’s the business side of the setup to have a front receiver and a winch plate.
Here’s the fully finished setup minus my hi-lift jack and a few wires needing to be tidied up. The setup works very well. I’ve winched a few vehicles out of difficult places with zero problems. Thanks for all the help, Travis! And thanks other Travis for letting us use your garage!
With Heather’s sister visiting us and the aspen showing their full fall colors, we ventured out in the Albino Rhino and met up with The Honey Badger to check out North Twin Cone Peak. The aspens from the parking lot at Kenosha Pass up to treeline were outstanding.
After climbing up to the radio tower on top of North Twin Cone Peak, we were treated with an outstanding view of the continental divide and mountain ranges as far as the Sangre de Cristos.
The Honey Badger and Travis and Company joined us at the summit. The wind was really ripping so we mainly stayed in our vehicles and took in the view.
Once below treeline, the riot of colors started again and followed us all the way out to the pavement.
