not being led by anyone at this stage, when im referrring to the 4 bolt one im talking about the unit which is not a full bar just a bracket about 200 or 300mm and the hitch reciever....... from what ive read on this forum they are not ADR approved and from research they can not take the full load at which the vehicle is rated for. I would much rather spend the extra money and get a full heavy duty bar that will tow what the vehicle is rated at.

ps only one full towbar is on ebay and its a mopar one for 430 bux plus delivery

I have removed a 4 bolt Hayman Reese Receiver from my JK. It has a plate stating a 2300kg tow rating and a 170kg ball rating. Obviously, you can't tow that much in a SWB. I used this receiver to tow a trailer all over Fraser and had no problems at all with it. Also, being an Australian company, I can't see how it could be manufactured without complying with ADRs.

You ADR sucks. The USA JK tow bar has passed testing their. You cannot tow much with a JK so why put all that money into a heavy duty tow bar.
