As promised here are some details of the arrangement I made some time ago now to be more easily able to manoeuvre a cumbersome boat in a confined driveway.
I had an old tow bar with the square hole to receive a H.R. hitch. The two steel brackets which connect the Al. Bullbar to the frame are the two points where the cut off bar were attached to:
I took off the Bullbar from the car and welded the bar between the two mounting plates and drilled and cut a matching hole in the front of the bar so the receiver would protrude.
The number plate is on a couple of hinges and when it flips up the hole is visible and the hitch pin can be inserted through the two winch holes top and front. I don't have a winch.
From the front, the hole is almost covered. I glued a couple of fridge seal magnets to the back of the number pate to hold the swinging plate in position but it actually sits nicely by itself.
My front towbar (was on the car when I got it) is so useful for manouvering that they will become a standard feature on all my future 4wd's. My towbar is centered and I have no trouble seeing either side of my camper.
I'll Put a pic here soon of one I put on my other 4x4. it's off set so I could park Dads caravan when he came back from QLD.
Was only a temporary thing,
@ Pezzer can I ask what you intend to use it for??
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
We move 2 large boats around and the driveway is quite steep with an awkward dog leg, also a few of the ramps when crowded are easily negotiated when pushing.
