Detachable Towing Kit Defender 90 Td5

[massive]

Got any suggestions?

I see that Devon sell it but not for the Td5 models.

Hi there.

Dave from Southdown (the devon stuff you have seen) does not market a td5 90 solution due to his belief that the profile of every 90 tank mount is not exactly the same.

He WILL if you ask him very nicely make up the plate and weld his hitch to it for you which in turn will allow you to then weld the mounting brackes to the plate yourself.

It is a GREAT system which does not rattle about. I have it fitted on an old 200 disco off roader.

Alternatively, look at the scrapion racing type detachable bar which is on offer from extreme 4x4 and also available from OEC.

This uses a 2" receiver style hitch and can be fitted with anything that will fit in a 2" box section hole.

Good system with better ground clearance than southdown but probably more rattles.

Note though that this one is JUST A TOWBAR, NOT A TANKGUARD. You then would need to buy a seperate tankguard.

No big deal.

My advice (if you can basic weld) would be to ring Dave at Southdown.

I thought Extreme 4x4 were the latest incarnation of Scrapiron
