I've got one on my LJ81 you could have. I'd have to check (will tomorrow, it's dark and wet outside) but I think it may be welded as well as bolted on, I have another but that is completely welded on and getting it off would most likely destroy it.

I'm pretty sure it'l fit your LJ80, measure the distance between your chassis rails at the rear.

This is probably the best pic I have.



Where abouts are you?

sideways,

I am up in Bullsbrook - north of Perth

I will have a measure tomorrow and post

My LJ80 is an open top two seater Ute

Cool, I'm about 400kms south of Perth... Haha.

If you're in no hurry, I can bring it next time I head up to Perth(no idea when that will be, possibly soon) and we can sort something out.

Sounds fine - no rush - I will measure and let you know

The tray back looks like a bit of fun...

Yeah, the tray back is awesome, though it's in 767856 pieces right now.... really need to find a better cab.

Put up some pictures of yours.

I had a look at the tow bar, looks home made (read, a bit dodgy). You'd need to cut or bend the back tow hook things to fit it too. It looks like someone has chopped up a towbar from another car to make this one fit. It'd be fine for anything you can legally tow with an LJ80 I think.

785mm between the 2 mounting surfaces (mounts the the inside of the chassis rails).

Yours if you want it.

Got back pretty late from work and not had time to check

Will measure up tomorrow

Only looking to tow trailer that I usually tow with Quad bike......

Will have to upload an Avatar and some pics = newbie here so not entirely sure how to do this yet

Between the inside of each chassis rail?

I'm soon to acquire 2 SWB LJs with tow bars. I'l let you know what theirs are like.

[ShortVehicle]

I will double check

Guys you are on the wrong track, they are completely different at the back of the chassis it will not fit, The tow bar on a soft top LJ is very basic and bolts to the plate in the centre of the rear cross tube.

If you are still looking for a LJ80 tow bar, I can help you, just PM me an email and I will send you some photos.

Cheers

[ShortVehicle]

Thanks 2stroker - thought the dimensions were odd

Boggomobile sent you a PM

But it does not look like it will fit on mine

[ShortVehicle]

Boggomobile sent you a PM but heard no more?
