Tow bar stowage (sorta)

[dirtyfingernails]

I got tired of cracking my toes on my tow bar on the floor in the garage. Figure I'd stow it in the bed to get it out of the garage. Darn that thing is heavy! I know it may be a poor choice of location, but I rarely use the truck and figure at least it's out of the way. I plan on getting a top to keep it somewhat dry.

cool idea. I been contemplating how to keep one on the duece when i get a tow bar. thats heck of a idea.

Nothin' wrong withthat install, nicely secured and out of the way! Good job! Bet your toes are thankin' ya!

Looks good. Will it be in the way when dropping down troop seats?

 

[dirtyfingernails]

No troop seats--it's a bobbed deuce.

 

[m.walker]

It looks good , I'd snap a lock on the pin though !

 

[Armada]

Good idea. I like it.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Is that the same towbar that came outa my yard?

 

[cranetruck]

Neat.
If you ever do the MWO thing, the bars may not retract as much, perhaps an adjustable support on one end would be in order....

 

[BEASTMASTER]

it really would have been out of the way if it was attached to the headboard.

Kenny,
Yes, same bar.
Bjorn,
You are right and other pics are on the way.
Beastmaster,
I thought of that, and really wanted to put it there or on the outside sideboard (like above the rear tire), but the weight is just too much for that sheet metal on the M105 trailer. Perhaps it would work on a deuce bed.
Mwalker, Indeed, a lock is in order and on there now.

Ha! Ha! Nope, I'm not that smart, just a dumb 'ole Steamfitter here.

I have been in some nasty cooling towers though................

 

[dirtyfingernails]

Yeah, Legionaires hangs around those right?

Hey, I thought that you were going to put it between the frame and the bed. Now you won't have room for those 200 shelter halfs. lol.... Looks good. We will have to get together and go crusing with the Deuces soon.

 

[CliffW]

looks good nice and clean.

That towbar looks too pretty to use! Nice job of mounting it. Mine's lying on the floor in the S-280 shelter. Need to build up a set of brackets or something for that and the antenna masts.

Buggyman, as a medical professional, your avatar looks like Prozac to me...

Allan,
I wanted to put it underneath, but it wouldn't fit. Plus, it would have been VERY difficult to get out of there. Oh, there's still plenty of room for the shelter halves! Ha! Radiator work out for you? I hope it was a good one. I tightened my compressor belt even more and it still knocks. I'm getting a new one.
