Hi All
This is my first post to this interesting group. On Wednesday I became
the very proud owner of a 1994 HDJ80 with a mere 66 000 miles on the
clock. What a fine vehicle!!!
My first question:
Is the standard rear bumper ( mine has 4 holes in it) strong enough to
use for towing a trailer? My trailer has a Tare of 380kg and a GVM of
1500kg, however I can never imagine how I could get this huge weight on
it. Use will include off-road, possibly some severe off-road use.
I am planning on getting a tow ball and simply bolting it through a pair
of these holes with high tensile bolts.... is this a cheap and quick way
to problems?
Any advice appreciated
Regards
