towbar

Post by AndriesS »

Early December in Sodwana I saw a White Patrol (4.8GRX) NW reg with a nice towbar. looked like it was bolted to the chassis , but had a piece linking it to the bumper 4 hole recovery point as well. Also had high lift holes in it.

Any idea on the manufacturer of these?

I looked at making such a mod to my towbar. A simple plate with holes drilled in right places can achieve this. I think it will add tremendous stregnth to the towbar. I have nt yet had teh time to implement though.

Nope wasn't a stealer, else a name plate with all the details would have been provided.

Front Runner does not list a towbar for the Patrol.

I have a feeling it might have been a once off. Maybe we should get Peter to make us some.

If front runner check it upclose and properly, the 3k front runner we fitted to the Disco is pathetic. It takes an excellent recovery hole and makes it defunct.
