Spare wheel bracket needs paint, so im running naked for a while.
And that huuuge towbar... Hmm, probably gotta go. Might buy a new, shorter one.

My towbar was bought from www.haagen.no/ was a slim detachable Thule thing. Seems like they are rebranded Brink now:

Could be that one.
Picked the one that looked like it would hang the most up and out of the way and with no key (who would steal it?).
Could be smart to change your exhaust back box before mounting that tow bar as it blocks the easiest way to change it.
I had to take the rear bumper off to change mine straight out the back instead of down, wich was no big operation.
They also have the ready made cable kit to hook up a 13 pin socket for the trailer, much more reliable than the 7 pin.

Beware that some producers have a reduced total weight and not all tow bars are approved for 1300kg.

I have been pulling a 1100 kg horse trailer and/or a 1200kg water tank with no hassle. None of those as spooky as a 2000kg load of planks..
Hmm.. beginning to understand why the gearbox broke down..

Thanks for the link! Looks pretty similar to mine, minus some rust!

The "detachable" part on mine, isnt detachable anymore...stuck in rust. So maybe ill just live with having to use tools on the bolts on it instead, since i rarely use it.. And make a 13pin socket on the bumper next to the reg plate instead of hanging down in the mud and salt.

I made an effort trying to release the tow bar, without any luck. I used the induction warmer also but i gave up. Considering removing the whole thing but sometimes its nice to have it!
