    Might sound silly but do you think the front end can take the ball weight all the time ?

    Shouldn't be a problem our Rangie did exactly this for 10 years when we sold it I removed the bar and there were no signs of stress etc, (the boat was timber making it a fair bit heavier). considering low speed and short distances when in use no, that's why so many do this mod.

    Missed this thread...

    I think I still have my front tow ball mount with bar that just bolts up. Previous owner used to forward park his boat in a tight spot.

    If anyone wants it then a slab of lemonade It's yours.

    Pezzer, nice work, however, I'd be a bit concerned at how low it is. Apart from the obvious reduction in front ramp angle, even with mine there are times when I can't wind the drawbar down far enough to connect the trailer without dropping the jockey and allowing the trailer to drop. I also concede that because the difference in height between the front and rear hitch and me using the same ball assembly adds to that difficulty.
    To do it properly I either have to turn the ball over - (PITA) or carry another insert and ball with me.

    Here's the one I made to move Dads van. Was fitted to a 75 troopy.
    Just removed it until I needed it
