Towbar for TJ - 900 Kg rating ...WTF???

[mattc]

I have the 'narrow neck' hayman reese style - my ARB strap fits fine but not all other brands... as I found out at Willowglen after offering to pull another spectator our of a muddy situation. Anyway a couple of tow hooks bolted to each side fixed the problem.

The smaller neck one matches the one of the subaru so swapping bike carriers etc is easy.

OK [img]graemlins/soapbox.gif[/img] here's the deal with a towbar for the TJ wrangler, according to the suppliers (ARB) the original designed towbar (Still on thier list might I add) is no longer being produced as it was over-rated (too strong) for the TJ, as such they now produce a much >smaller< bar.

But wait there's more - not only is it smaller, but it now features a bolt on tounge. Sort of defeats the purpose when it comes to using the "Square Hitch" reciever as a recovery port.

Falling off my [img]graemlins/soapbox.gif[/img] now, just [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img] ing

As far as i know Jeep wanted a bit over $450 for mine when i enquired about my towbar, lucky for me they wanted a sale and threw it in when i bought the TJ... ;) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hey JP Mark,

Email sent (stealth mode) using wife's account - that'll teach her to have a bath and leave the computer on (ha HA ha)

I wear the pants in the family :mad: as long as my wife says it's ok :eek:

So ARB bar is a real Hayman Reese? Of course what you really want is a replacement rear bar with integrated hitch, swing away carrier for your 35 tyres, and a minor win in tattslotto ;)
