bugger BUGGER

my tow bar assembly is about to fall off so i have to re-weld the chassis bit and then add some suport:D

thats me 4 the nite im f**ked catch yous tomorrow |-)

later man

now get back on topic... geez you guys are bad.

Welcome:D

next time you are lying on your back under any car, truck, bus, but especially a 4wd, have a close look at how the tow bar is mounted. I'll bet that most have unrated bolts through the chassis, at best. The forces exerted on a tow bar towing a trailer are nothing compared to using a snatch strap. I have seen the results of a tow bar with a hook , come off which resulted in a helicopter ride after 6 hours in the bush with a leg broken in several place sand 12 months off work and a permanent limp.

what if you weld it there?? in other word bolt it weld it and put extra suport??
