Adoom Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I'm looking at a tow bar on the tard for my 2001 corolla/allex/runx/thing. I suspect it's aftermarket. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/toyota/accessories/listing-2198789113.htm Is it typical for a tow bar to be mounted using long bolts and big washers, from the boot, through the chassis rails, with no crush tube? It seems like a good way to crush the chassis rail.... I haven't found a picture of what an original toyota one looks like. I'd assume they would attach it using the bolt holes for the tow hooks.

AllTorque Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Looks like standard aftermarket tow bar fitment, but you are in the money, you would want some crush tubes. They are probably still in the car it cane off, but easy enough to cut some pipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.craw4d Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 ^ What alltorque said. I've installed a few towbars and all used crush tubes if bolting through a hollow section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
