Tow bar

[86M10086.2L]

Does anyone here in the Long Island, New York, New Jersey or Connecticut area have a medium towbar with adapters that I could perhaps rent, borrow or for sale for a CUCV? I'm probably going to look at another M1008 next weekend and if all is good I'll be flat towing it back home. Been looking in the classified for towbars but none of them are close or could be shipped here in time. I'd like to buy one just to have even if I don't have another CUCV. Even if somebody knows of a surplus shop that might have some for sale. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I have homemade adapters that you can use with a tow bar that you can buy at Harbor Freight Tools. I never used them, but they should work. If you are interested PM me.

Where are you going to pick it up? I have a few tow-bars in PA. Right where I 78 turns to I 81 south.

The truck I'm looking at is in southern NJ. I wanted to do the Habor freight setup with some homemade feet but I'm not sure if a trooper would complain about it because technically they're not rated for the weight of a M1008. I think 5k lbs max

Oh, Oh I have one....wait, it's in El Paso. Bummer. You're welcome to come barrow it.

I still have a few to loan out.
