[emmado22]

I don't know about the issue medium towbar, but I've got some pics of the towbar on Stretch's CJ-2A that got a little messed up at the 2005 rally.

Took it off road for a test drive and snapped one towbar end....

It aint bent but it's definately twisted!

This Bud goes out to Westfolk, who by his own two hands built a towbar that has seen more miles than many of the trucks at GL! This awesome piece of down home engineering propelled by a mighty duce was able to single handedly overcome the laws of physics and gravity for over 500 miles pulling a 10 ton hulking OD green mass through 3 states. pull little engine that could It's guys like you that put the "DANG" into DANGEROUS! So raise your glasses to Westfolk and his twisted steel and sex apeal tow bar! Mr. homemade scrap metal tow bar maker

Feet are on upside down. When one truck goes up and the other goes down the foot will hit the bumper and stop causing the tow bar to snap.

What vehicle is that you were towing when it snapped? I can't tell from the picture.

Yes, that's why I didn't repeat them in the post...I'm a man of few words.

I got a set of towbars that are 4" diameter and use 1 1/2" pins. Bet you can't break them! I think you can tow a tank with them! I am willing to swap them for a medium size set... PM me if interested.

 

[BEASTMASTER]

the adapters were upsidedown , thats why it snapped.

goldeneagle, tanks are one of the things that tb from he=ll is used for, is that the one from tin

 

[goldneagle]

I bought it from a guy in MO that had a few of them listed on Ebay. Got it with one set of feet. Made an adapter to use with the Deuce in case we needed to tow mine home from Ft. Polk.. Truck was drivable, so we never used it.
