tow bar modifimication

well i have been fed up with my towbar ( should that be plough  :roll: ) digging and stopping me dead. i have been called farmer brown more times than i care to remember now  :lol:  :lol:  so i have done something about it. this is plan 1. i have cut 4" off the bottom of the towbar so its alot higher now. i will fit the drop plate with towball and antisway on it when i need it. i have also moved the electrics up on to the bumper out of the way. fed up with cleaning the mud out of it  :roll:

if this doesnt work then my next thing to do is spot weld the top bolts in place. this will allow me to undo and remove tow bar in about 3 mins without having to remove the bumper. trust me to pick a really hot day to get the grinder out huh  :lol:  :lol:

good idea, but them electric look vunerable as furthest point to the rear, i put mine on the rear door to the drivers side. you can run cable inside the orginal door trunking

so now when you reverse up to your trailer you can smash you tow plug on the hitch :lol:

why dont you bolt an ajustable drop plate onto plate you've got and set it high then its a quick fix
