Default Tow bar

are there any particular tow bars that have a really short receiver section? I was thinking of installing my uneek bar with a tow bar but keeping the number plate in the factory position. I could maby use the uneek number plate flip bracket on the back to clear the tow bar hopefully. Any thoughts?

I just bought the Uneek number plate relocation bracket for when I fitted the Uneek bar.

This is mine with a 265 spare tyre so there would be room to fit a flip bracket with that size spare. It will sit at a bit of an angle though but fitting a number plate light might be an issue.

However I suppose you could mount it at the end of the plate.

The hitch is a Mopar one.

That set up looks great. Which towbar do you have?

It's an OEM towbar. The Uneek bar is designed to sit directly above it.

I ordered the black step with my rear bar instead of the silver one that most people get. All the pics on their website show the silver step.

I went with black too on the uneek step, looks much better. I see you did say mopar, sorry. I was actually thinking of going mopar tow kit and be done with it. Would like to keep the mag wheel open so really want to go with the uneek plate flip over the receiver. Might just need to pack it out somehow. I think the Hayman reese kit has its own number plate flip and it's the same towbar as mopar??
