Just wondering.....If someone has the Towtrust bar fitted and we know it exceeds the requirements why even bother going back to Jeep? They don't really seem to know what's going on, they've passed some but don't do much with the information. What can happen by not going for them to "Approve " ?

But Mike and Paul's jeeps have been back ( think I read of another too) and been "passed" by the Jeep dealer. If the gap is big enough there is no reason not to. I'm starting to think if I get mine I'm not taking time off work to go to the dealer. They can come and bring their lollypop round if...

Bit more info re' the price difference between Towbars Direct and TowTrust . The eBay one is only a bit cheaper but if like me you need to update the electrics or are starting from scratch it's all included. The TowTrust one doesn't have electrics or tow ball, they'll be extra. Fine if you're...

Hi Paul, welcome. Things have gone very well in a short space of time. Better than waiting for Jeep to do something. The same towbar seems to be available from another supplier cheaper at £127. (See link above). With regard to your contact with Tow Trust any thoughts as to why they're doing...

Glad you're sorted. I've looked at the Towbars Direct site again (link above) and it's definitely the Tow Trust bar. Same diagrams with the logos etc. But it's priced cheaper at £127 inc vat and delivery. That's even after the 58% discount. I suppose selling through somebody else gives people...

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/151525929364?_mwBanner=1 found this by accident. Same towbar but cheaper?

Only a minor point, I'm being picky but at 250 +vat it's going to be 300 for the towbar. It says rrp, so maybe different on phone. I'll be contacting them once I've paid for Christmas.

I couldn't manage more than two lines, but I hope at Christmas, we all have good times.

Just read jeepermare's post on other forum, the reply from jeep. They're "working with colleagues in US" on a suitable towbar. They haven't tested the Tow Trust etc. It would be great if after seeing the one on Paul's jeep if they contacted Jeep in the US and said stop developing or whatever...

I think the 42mm requirement is in the middle, the new one has 90mm , so that's plenty.

Yes, I suppose even better news would be that Fiat /Jeep were making a large order to use for the recall. It would be tempting to order one early on but then jeep might do the decent thing after all and say they'll use these. Think I'll be waiting a bit, see what happens. Though thinking about...

Seems Tow Trust are taking orders. Just needs certificate issuing. Ready early January. Clearance details etc have been posted on the 4wdmechanix forum.

Check the 4wdmech...Post of Paul again. Latest news is very good. Don't know if Paul is on this forum.

Good news on the other forum, Paul's post. He says a trial fitting of new towbar went well.It's now off for testing. So this seems very positive.

Just found this. http://forums.4wdmechanix.com/topic/252-jeep-kj-liberty-recall-n46%E2%80%94a-trailer-hitch-is-the-fix/#entry2792 Have a look at post 99 and 100. "Paul" is a bit criptic but must have his reasons.
