Get your story straight. Title says "With the front bumper off" and your post says "without front bumper off".

Stuff like that is a magnet for Starter and Piper, then the whole thread goes to ****************.

...and how far off is off? Hitch? front? bumper? Are you going to do the RV 'toad' thing? Have some coffee and explain yourself.

Here's some pics of various levels of disrobement:

Retract your claws, tiger. He may have had a typo or brain fart, but most of us saw beyond that and understood what he's asked and replied accordingly, including myself.

It appears that I also gleaned his desire and presented three times as much help as you did. With mine, he didn't even have to click a link. When you are "lazy af" it's hard to click more links.

The rest of my post was pointed at encouraging a response as to why someone with a cool camper-Boxster would put a hitch on the front stead the rear.

Understood, but why drag my name into it? Did my post to the OP cause the thread to go to ****************?
And if he's not too lazy to post a question, he's definitely not too lazy to click a link.

Awesome, thanks so much and this is extremely helpful. I no longer have garage space, so having a clear understanding of what I'm getting into before tearing things apart just to visualize it is great.

The goal is to have an interchangeable accessory system with quick-removal since theft is a serious problem here.

I want to mount a camera slider or alternatively a light bar to the front of the vehicle.

I decided the best course is to CNC attachments to the end of the bumper bar that protrude downward and then secure a bent tube structure with the cotter pin.

Originally I wanted to be able to support 200lbs, so I could add a bucket seat and capture video, but I'm not sure that's doable, I'll have to live with a camera slider

Horrible photoshop example of what I'm shooting for:




Taking some rough measurements and 3d printing a road to check if the bend radius and width is correct:







Fairly close, width correct, radius off by an inchish:



Full assembly design:
