[Swap] Detachable for a Fixed Tow Bar

Before I look at buying a LR fixed tow bar, is anyone interested in a direct swap from a LR fixed bar to a LR detachable? To clarify I have the detachable and want a fixed.

I know it’s a long shot, especially with the press on the detachable at the moment, but mine has been checked and is all OK. I swapped with a forum member on my old D3 - as he only did occasional towing and wanted to keep the rear clear for ground clearance.

Not swaps.

I can't swap but I am after a detachable bar. If you sell please let me know a price. Thanks.

I've just made my removable tow hook into a permanent one !!
I've fixed one of those anti theft brackets on and used allen key headed bolts, only a little bit of a nuisance to a dedicated thief but enough to make them think twice.
I have a full size spare wheel so that makes it a little more difficult for anybody, including me, to remove the nuts from behind.

Hi Beretta,

I’m joining the D3 clan on Wednesday when I pick up ours. It has a fixed towbar which my wife and I hate the look of. As we’ll only tow infrequently at best, I could be up for the swap. I need to work
Out how to remove it (can’t be too hard) but can then arrange to meet to swap? Drop me a PM.

Cheers

Paul

Dean, I got mine from flea bay cost £28 including postage only took three days to arrive.
There used to be a guy on here selling them for about the same price +postage, you may be lucky if you do a search.
Bought the nuts and bolts separately as I wanted round head with Allen key slot. My thinking is that it would make a would be thief think twice before attempting to remove them.
With a full size spare wheel the nuts at the back are difficult to get at.

Cheeky Thursday bump...

If no one want to do a swap, I will sell my detachable bar, including the storage compartment, and the red plug for use when its removed.
