Hey everyone
Im trying to find somewhere in Sydney (Penrith area or surrounding preferred) that sells Haymen Reese style tow bar set ups for my 2012 CJ
I have heard this particular model is harder to get a bar for as the exhaust setup is different (the person i talked to might be talking shit though...)
Anyone have any experience with tow bars at all or know a good place to go?
Thanks in advanced

I dont see why you would be able to tow a trailer with a total of 1000kg of weight but cant have a rack of 50kg and a bike of 120kg totalling 170kg....
Simply doesnt make sense

For those doubters......
Try pulling rearwards on a towball on a car and see what happens to front ride height.
Now fit a bike carrier (or similar) and pull rearwards on the top - what you have is a lever.
A standard bike carrier puts enormous strain on the towbar and vehicle mounts. That is why every towbar is labelled 'For towing purposes only'.
Of course, this does not stop us all ignoring that and fitting bike carriers, but bent tongues are very common out there.......
