Towbar fitment

[hiroler]

So I got the new towbar today I can't see how it fixes the the surf!!! It looks to me to be the wrong type of tow bar for a surf! Just going to sort some pics out see if you guys can shed some light on the mater!!

[hiroler]

Hi Hiroler....Take a look at Roughtrax website. Go on to KNZ130, and key in accessories, then towbar, and you will see that theres a PDF on fitment. hopefully the pics will help....Cheers....Mick.

By the look of things this bar fixes to the top or bottom of the chassis rail all the one I can find seem to fix on the side of the rail!!

Did the vendor ( or maker) not provide fitting instructions. Can you not contact them to get some. Id guess it fits on the bottom of the chassis rail like my 3rd gen one did. The two holes close together should line up with bolt holes where the captive bolts are , and where you may have a towhook fitted, After that you just need to offer it up and see what else lines up.

Hmm by the look of it then it might be for a 3rd gen then as nothing lines up with my 2nd gen. The towing holes are in the way and I have no bold holes in the underside of the chassis rail.

Try searching through this website and see if anything like your towbar set up appears on the instruction lists. I think something should be there somewhere. I seem to recall seeing something when I was putting my tow bar on a few weeks ago.

EDIT: Don't forget to add website link! D'oh!

That does look as if it might fit a 3rd gen. Have a look at some of the posts with pics on 3rd gen towbars.

I have a 2nd gen tow bar here(cheap) if you wanted to come over for a day I'm sure I could cut and shut the two together for you. I am a welder by trade so it would not be a bodge job
