I imagine it would be similar to the GQ bar

stiil want to see what it looks like on 80

What happens with tow bar.

Can it be used with a tow bar or is that the end of towing my ski boat.

In the pic there is a recess which would
be for a towbar if it had one fitted.

Have one, it's modded for the 2" body lift so ignore the bent tips.
I'm also in the middle of recovering two of the 4 bolt holes so I can re-attach the towbar when it's needed.
IT's nothing like the GQ unit, and there is no provision to relocate the number plate. The wheel carrier only goes on for the family trips so it's not a concernt for me.
I'll look to see if I've got any pics of the rear, otherwise I'll take some tomorrow in the daylight.
Found one....

Regarding towing. If you had the hayman reece unit then it uses 4 bolts on the rear to mount the hitch and 4 underneath.
Cheezy's bar takes up the top two rear bolts. So you could either get Mark to step the plate out futher to bolt over the towbar plate or cut back the rear bar plate to leave enough room for the HR unit and cut that back to use just the the lower mounting holes. I'm doing the latter. Can post a pic whe its done if you want.
Oh, also it didn't come with any recover points which sucked. Having recently pulled it off and had a look I can see why now and have mounted two spring hooks to the chassis, for when the towbars not on.

LilBlkDuck
would you be able to email that photo to me.
Also more photos would be great.

Did you put the bar on yourself or did they do that for you.

Is it hard to put on? Also is any cutting, welding, drilling required.
Would love to see how you mod it to suit tow bar.
When do you think you will be doing this?

Also I have a genuine toyota tow bar. Are they the same as HR as far as fitting with bar?
Thanks

Mark usually fits them as he welds the mounting plates to the chassis and then the bar is bolted on.
I've completed the mods to the rear bar on the weekend and will do the tow bar tonight.

If you supplied your rig to Mark with the Tow Bar in place I can't see why he can't work around it. These are custom items not production line units.
