Hey guys, Are the suzuki sierra tow bars strong enough to be used as a tow hitch? (assuming sierra towbars a built the same) With one of those tow-bar hitch receivers? Eg.: http://www.bbmmotorsports.com.au/thumbn ... over03.jpg |

every sierra towbar i have seen doesnt use that style of hitch.. they use the bent piece of metal that bolts on with 2 bolts. |

make a new rear bar for it and incorporate a tow point. i am looking at trying to fit the tow point you bolt on.. front one will b easy once i raise the bull bar. |

Yer definetly would if i had the skill. But im going to wait and see wat the guys come up with at Millweld customs. Emailed them the other day to see if they did bars/snorkels etc for sierras and got news they just bought a sierra to make up bullbars, rearbars on. |

I was only thinking this same question last night. I was thinking of taking off the tongue and welding up some sort of recovery hitch that bolts to the towbar where the tongue normally bolts up |

why do you need to use this type of hitch? Why can't you just put a rated shackle through the eye of the towbar where the ball normally installs to? |

Are you looking for a recovery point or a tow hitch, do you still need the tow bar ? I cut the right angle mounting brackets off my old tow bar, bolted my hooks to those and bolted them back on. I tend to avoid doing full on snatches into next week, and would only ever use mine to recover a bigger wagon if I had to, but the few times I have used mine they have stayed put without any problems. |
