Why can I not get a front tow hitch fitted? pls help.


Subby

Recommended Posts

I have a trailer I want to push into place, not possible to reverse in.

Ive tried a couple of places now and they said they wont do a front towball for an Outback (2006 H6),

I get if its protruding why that would be a problem. but HEAPS of vehicles out there with them that have no issues with WOF etc. Surely If I can remove it, then why not?

Can somebody please help me out with a suggestion. In Aucks. Cheers guys.

It depends largely on the class and weight of the vehicle. 

Have a read over this, mainly condition 2
 https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/vehicle-structure/structure-incl2.-frontal-impact

In short, I suspect it will be difficult to fit a front tow bar to an Outback without modifying the front structure of the vehicle therefore failing a WOF and/or requiring LVV Cert

A quick google reveals this as an idea?

the ones I've seen are 'popular' bull bar type Prado / mitsi's that suit that style of mount too

 

yeah you cant even cut the bumper support beam these days it seems to install front mount IC's without falling foul eh

 

one of them trailer jockeys might be better eh (I'm sure you could motorise one too etc

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
