Paid about $400 for mine direct from Suzuki, and I fitted it myself

[godzilr]

are there universal looms readily available off the shelf for these?

could be a cheaper option.

in saying that, $310 for the tow bar + freight...plus loom + freight

may aswell get a genuine

[JayKay]

Not sure, someone else might be able to answer that one.
I do know ARB offer a towbar but my local guy wasnt very helpful and couldnt tell me if it would fit my 2008 model.

the Genuine comes with everything thou
I'd email you local dealer and just get a quote ( I reckon it would be cheaper than what mine was )

wiring loom is easy if you have a circut tester just test for your operation lights and tap your wiring into them for your plug. thats what we did when we fitted towbars at my last job

[zuk85]

all good :D: got a hayman reece 1100kg for the jimny for $280 with towball & wiring, Got to love my old work still liking me lol. If anyone else is keen i doubt i could get you mates prices but hit up suncoast towbars im sure there price is good

$624 PLUS fitting WOW!!!

i am in Darwin afterall.

does anyone feel like calling their local suzuki for a price comparison?

[JayKay]

$520 fitted in Burnie Tas as of just over a year ago

I bought it and fitted it myself thou took the price down to 400ish

[godzilr]

thats crazy. as much as i want genuine. the price is a little steep for a towbar!!

[zuk85]

sweet as got my hayman reece towbar on today still cant believe I got it brand new for $280 with wiring, ball. Thanks old work

Didnt get any photos of bar,
Cause I was too worried about the lil rust bubbles ones bigish about the size of a gold ball found in the tiny boot well, And on the join seams on rear of car too. Took the whole bumper off to fit the bar and found it all. Rang suzuki at caloundra where we brought it, And bloody hell they are sending a bloke out to check it next thursday to see what he needs to do to fix got to love life time paint and rust protection warrenty.

Just incase. Everyone else check there jimny boot well, There is a section under the car floor panel in the rear above the exhuast that has a heat shield mounted right up against the floor that goes across into the underneath of the lil boot well. It must trap and hold water and shit and only spot not sprayed with paint or that rubber rust proof shit. well on ours anyways.

[godzilr]

get some pics when ya can

thats a steal!!

[zuk85]

yea mate for sure will take some fresh ones 2moro
