heavy duty tow bar oops ...anyone need one lol

[tmaxxgod4]

I won this and thought it was the MED bar. the weight said 60ibs so GL LIED (my dad wants me to call and say I refuse to pay as you lied) but I want to know of anyone wants it for what I payed (plus 10% and 8%) in CA best if you can pick it up in fontana so I don't have to deal with it.

Needs to be in the classifieds and you must be a paying member to post there.

You could not tell it was not a medium from the pictures or the NSN that lists the end use as MRAP/COUGER/HEMETT??

It's worth that. Pick it up and find it a home and put a few $$ in your pocket in the process. PM sent.

 

[Floridianson]

Yea but you did not pay much for it. It also says approximate weight but the size gives it away 86 inches long I do believe.
Agreed pick it up.

 

[gimpyrobb]

GL didn't lie, you failed to inspect the lot in person. You bid, now its yours.

 

[98G]

On the topic of "gl lied". Nah, they're just clueless. Their clueless Ness works in your favor more frequently than not. Two recent examples: 1) the "14.00r20" tires were clearly 16.00r20s mounted on hemtt rims. 2) "fluids drained, won't start or run, tires flat" clearly had air in the tires in the pics and just as clearly had the front shackles still mounted, indicating it arrived wherever the pic was taken under its own power. I got a pristine 2010 rebuilt winchtruck at scrap price and drove it 1000 miles home.

It pays to look in great detail at the pics and video.

Yep

Except when they use the same picture over and over.

Except when they use the same picture over and over.

What! You mean that there weren't 20 used widgets that looked "exactly" the same down to the placement of various pieces?

GL Videos (of vehicles anyway) always show the mileage and data plate with serial number if they are there. Plus you can usually make out the lot and sale number. You can compare all that with the description and pictures to decide if it's the right vehicle. Its a little harder on other items.

I did not know since I am not a expert in tow bars.. I wanted one to tow my FJ cruiser behind my 5ton. that is it. from the pics and weight it looked to me (the untrained eye) that it would do the job. so be nice.

 

[Mike929]

Yea, it looked like a med to me as well until they pointed out some obvious things, like the ability to slide the length in/out.

Here are a couple of pictures of my Tow bar and one mounted on the side of APC.

Except when they use the same picture over and over.

Even that yields information. It says, very loudly, "you're bidding completely blind. Plan accordingly. "

I WISH the medium towbar only weighed 60 lbs

That tow bar WILL pull an FJ Criuser with ease. Earlier this year I got 2 F350 Crew cabs way cheap because they were listed as F250s. You got a good deal on that tow bar, go get it and sell it if you don't want to use it, or pay the fees inquired to walk away.
