Fitting a Tow-Trust Towbar to a Jimny...

I read a lot on here before purchasing a tow-bar for my Jimny, and there was some discussion about whether it was indeed possible to fit a (Tow-Trust) towbar without having to remove the Jimny's bumper...

After reading the threads on here I then read the instructions and confirmed removing the bumper was not necessary, and the installation looked fairly easy and straight-forward...

So I bought one, and wrote a blog / review of fitting one, here - www.bits4vits.co.uk/store/fitting-a-tow-...-jimny/blog_249.html

Hope that helps someone out there!

Easy enough, and makes for a better recovery towpoint than the factory tie-downs!

Mightas well remove the bumper as it only takes 5 10 mins also makes it easyer to wire it up

I agree with markyp2000 fitting mine was easy and could of definatly been done without removing the bumper but for the sake of 5 mins to take the bumper off and refit it, it saves so much time and effort!

that's a great pictorial guide

but still going to have to remove the bumper to feed the cable for the socket electrics,
as of March this year the MOT will fail any car fitted with a tow-bar that doesn't have working elec socket

That'll be the next job...

But been busy this afternoon fitting a Safari Snorkel
