CaverD3,

Any update from Aaron? I don't want to ring and bother him again. If you can let us know the status it would save many calls to him.

Are we to see deliveries before Easter - that is end of next?

Saw Aaron yesterday and haselled him. A small batch has been made and some are testing them. So far so good. Next batch will be slightly improved as a result. I can't see the next batch being ready for Easter at the moment though. Crying or Very sad
They have used mine to test fi but I don't do enough towing to give it a proper testing, so I don't have one yet either. Big Cry
They test fitted one on RRS and it needed modifying as the RRS bumper sticks out more than the D3's. I followed the sport as we left and it looks goods when on. Thumbs Up

So new batch needs some different backing plates from the D3 one fo RRS. â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games”

"...So new batch needs some different backing plates from the D3 one fo RRS...."

This just confirms that nothing worthwhile is achieved easily or quickly. I just hope that Aaron has a mended leg and is still doggedly working to sort out the glitches. Those of us who ordered early (effectively investing in a new invention) are getting a salutory lesson in risk (I can only imagine how Aaron feels about risky inventions). Next week I'll be doing about 600km of rough road/beach with the plow towing a trailer, but imagine that by Christmas we'll all have faces like = Very Happy Jim Dowell - D4 HSE TDi, 12,000 hydraulic winch & hidden winch mount, MTRs, TyreDog, Traxide 2 x aux battery system, fixed air compressor, Dolium roof rack, MitchHitch.

Thanks CaverD3 for the update.

Oh well, will just need to pull the van with the plough again this Easter. Won't be hitting any hard dirt roads so it will work okay.

Hopefully the hitches will be ready by the next school hols in June 08 (pretty please Aaron).

Thanks again.

New components being cut, then they need to be welded and zinc coated. I suspect time too tight for Easter. Sad â€œThere are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games”

Hello all

I have just spoken to Aaron and ordered a hitch for my D3.

He said that he had outsourced the manufacture to a long term mate as they were too busy at Mitchell's at the moment. They should be available in two/three weeks time.
Heres hoping.

Hi All,

I have just received word from our electroplater that we will have units available, by Friday, for those who have put their name down on the list.

We are now taking orders for the other half of this production run.


Thanks for your patience.

Hi Aaron, great work to finally get this unit on the market.

Do you have fitting instructions, is it as simple as the 2 bolts seen in the photos, or is there more to it?

I suggest i'll place an order in the coming week.

Thanks
