Towbar Recommendations - Preparing For The Man Cave

[J_Red33]

Hi all,

Been a while since I've been on here, my 33 has been lying dormant for quite some time.

However I am finally taking some steps towards getting it back on the road, recently bought a house & now have to sort out a garage so I can bring it home & start work on it.

One thing I need now in preparation for my new cave is a towbar on my daily. I am mainly debating between either a Allin or Hall towbars, but haven't been able to find very much information on personal opinions/experiences of the 2.

I have been quoted about $50 less for the Allin than the Hall, but not sure if the Hall is worth the extra for any reason.

All input would be appreciated.

Cheers

Jared

What car is it for?

Ive had an Allin bar on every one of my cars bar the Ranger (and thats only because i got a rear step/towbar all in one for that from ARB). They make all their stuff inhouse, Hall basically supply and fit a Hayman Reese item and modify it to suit where necessary (which is rare as Hayman Reese basically cover every make and model these days)

I just had an Allin bar put on the Territory recently, was $100 odd bucks cheaper than Hall (or the price of the factory Hayman Reese towpack thats nearly 2k plus install)

All going to be down to a matter of convenience for you. Allins being south west, Hall being North

get a second hand one. I got a $400 towbar for $75 for my hilux.

I've done alot of heavy towing with 4WD's and have always used Allin without problem.

Well this is turning very one sided fast

Very interesting, car is a 95 model Mazda Astina V6 I doubt a Hall bar would be any different on my car other than a label being only rated to 700kg.

If you can find one for a '95 Mazda Astina Hatch I'll buy it, but I've never seen one yet.

Looking like Allin is going to be the go so far. Thanks for your input guys
