Towmaster rated to 1,6 ton off '98 4.5. Ideally I would like to swap for a Patrol 16" steel rim but highly unlikely so what offers?

Hi David, I'm interested but I have no idea on value and whether it will fit my 2005 4.8 GRX. Will those in the know please advise?

Dankie Boet - As long it was your rear bumper.

Bruce - It seems it will work with possibly a spacer/drop plate and Ian de Villiers may have a rim from Danie so when he lets me know I will let you know how much. The transport to Kimberley will probably be more than the Towbar.

Bruce - Good news - Ian is giving Danie his GRX mag, Danie is giving me the steelie so the towbar is free (Other than beers if any of us visits PE). Any idea's on transport to PE?

Hi David, that is great news.

Happy to supply a few beers in PE. Transport is going to be k@K to sort out, but I have recently sent a spare wheel cover and roof rack to Rahul in JHB via Time Freight Logistics. Would you mind sending me the L x H x W and kg of the towbar? I'll get a quote from the Time Freight website to see if is viable. They can collect from your place. I'll work on Midrand for now, but will you PM me your collection address?

Thanks Bruce

I will duct tape the loose parts to it tonight and measure and weigh. More likely to be charged by weight than volume. Also maybe ask Tinus. He has a contact for everything.

20 Kg

52 X 115 X 13 cm

Get a quote from The Courier Guy as well. They where cheapest last time from DBN and Time Freight was a ripoff.
