Detachable tow bars and tank guards.
crazymac:
I have the Guardian one, and its a top piece of kit!
The detachable drop plate has 3 sets of holes, so you can set the tow ball for the height you need. I have two trailers, one needs the ball at the lowest height, one needs it on the next set up! All I need to do is swap over a couple of times a year.

Hi.
Don't forget the US receiver hitch type of tow bar. Used to be available from Discoparts but Scorpion do an identical one which is better made in my opinion, only about £20 difference in price at the shows.
The square receiver bolts on using the standard towbar mounts and you can fit drop plates or recovery eyes as you wish with only 1 pin to remove.
For the tank guard you can get one that uses the original tank mount bolts so no conflict with the towbar. I've seen Ebay recently, £40 plus £15 delivery.
HTH, Dan

The only problem, and the reason I don't have one, is that by the time it's long enough to reach 14 inches from the floor, the dropplate is so long form a US reciever tha it would be unsafe to tow any significant weight, like say a car trailer.
As for the Southdown, well you can jack the back of the car up on it, I run my winch from mine and I've towed 3 tonnes with it on the bottom set of holes (and mine is a long one, ooh-err :roll:) without any problems.

Thanks for all the replies so far lads. Anyone just got a detachable or high mount tow bar I can take a look at?
