Tank Guard

I'm think of fitting a tank guard to my Disco , but i' m torn between two routes. Route 1 is tank guard and separate removable tow bar .
Route 2 is an all in one set up.
I am just worried about the strengh of the route 2 when towing , cause i sometimes tow a car trailer. Any suggestions will be great

I'd go down the route of a removable tow hitch and receiver they've been using these in the US for years and you know what their like for law suits So I would have thought they'd have to be pretty safe or they wouldn't sell em for fear of been sued. By the way have a look on the US ebay as their a 1/4 of the price of UK 4x4 suppliers and probably better made.

I'll have a look later

or just fabricate a tank guard that bolts to the legs of the tow bar where they go under the tank??

Aye but they gets in the way when offroading.

Yeah i'm trying to loose that horrid bang at the back when green laning

... I have a spare tank guard with removable tow bar if you are interested.
This one uses the same mounts (plus extra ones) to a normal tow bar - so I would think strength is the same.
I can email pics if it is any use (I think it is a southdown one - in pretty good nick).
See here for fitting and extra bolt locations - http://www.southdown4x4.co.uk/Fitting/FitDiscoDTP.jpg
