New ZealandFitted this yesterday, really simple installation. Liked the option to reverse the bar and I installed mine with the safety chain web uppermost. The bar offers good additional protection to the muffler and bumper.
New ZealandHi have not fitted tow bar as yet as I don't get my new jimny till end July but I have to say the tow bar looks to be very good quality and very nicely finished can't wait to fit it
New ZealandWell packed, but no instructions. It’s pretty straight forward to assemble, but without instructions, you have to lay all the parts out and figure it all out yourself. I emailed the vendor to see if there were meant to be instructions that were left out of the pack, but no reply. My main concern was the OD of the mounting bolts were well under size in relation to the holes they had to pass through. It made installation much easier, but probably not best practice from an engineering stand point. The contra is, all the bolts are in shear, so you’d need to pull pretty hard before the tow bar ripped out of its mounts.
AustraliaThe tow bar is a great product and easy to install, genuine tow bar one piece and heavy, this tow bar in 3 pieces which made installation easy to manage by one person and assemble ends to the Jimny, then the bar to fill the gap. The tow bar is very sturdy and fits exactly where it is mean t to be without needing any persuasion or adjustment, I need to make time to put it to work on my next outing.
New ZealandDid have the factory fitted but decided to change to this one as it doesn't extend out as far. Though one thing I did like about the factory bar was its its mounting system which I prefer over this one, so modified the mounting brackets to bolt on the same way the factory brackets did. Also got a rated tow hook fitted onto it as well. Hasn't been used in anger yet but looks good and strong. Prompt shipment via courier from Adam once he had them in stock and responsive to my inquiries. Mine did come with shackles.
These Tow Bar kits fit nicely up under the rear bumper, ideal if you plan on using your Jimny to cross some rough terrain.
These are designed for off-road use. They don't affect the rear departure angle (in fact they help protect the rear bumper!) and they include two recovery points. This is a very effective way to add rear recovery points to your Jimny, and essential addition if you plan on getting off the public roads.
These are entirely a bolt-on unit, no welding or cutting required.
These are not rated.
Doesn't come with a tow ball, tongue or shackles.
