I use my TD5 for laning and have removed my NAS step/tow bar and I'd like to replace it with a tow jaw for pulling out other vehicles..
Was thinking of a Dixon Bate 5 ton jaw as it has 4 fixing bolts. http://www.dixonbate.co.uk/towing/product.asp?PartNo=201910. Is the TD5 rear cross member ok for this type of fixing..? Its in good nick and isn't rusty....still makes a nice "ping" when it's tapped. Cheers Simon |

That link doesn't work... you need to remove the "." at the end, thus: http://www.dixonbate.co.uk/towing/product.asp?PartNo=201910
You'll need to really brace the crossmember with a piece of thick plate. There is a kit available from LR, and a thread here on it, sorry i've deleted the pictures from my photobucket account now, but fling me a PM with your email and i'll send some over. |
