Help!

Click image to enlarge

Firstly my tow bar - what happens if I need to tow one of these?



I'll be DOOOOMED!! Big Cry

And my rear step - what on Earth would I do if a 45 stone bloke wanted to get in the back? It might bend!

And finally my mudflaps - I don't think they are rated for wet grass on an October morning in Namibia - HELP!!

That is all Wink Laughing Rolling with laughter Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

I used LRs own extreme super number plate cleaner too - I would have thought it would have been ideal? Back to the drawing board... Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Are you MAD?

I'd zip tie it to the exhaust pipe just like you're supposed to do. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

A quote from First Blood seems relevant here "your going to need a good supply of body bags if you send that many men in" Think there were more than 2 people advising on the towing thread! Shocked

Hope you have commercial insurance to cover the theft of your work tools in the back. That's a very expensive looking plastic bucket and spade. Just the job for digging out that dumper truck when it gets bogged in the clag. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel
