Keep it in the barn next to my place if you like. I'll make sure the wheel bearings don't seize. I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

One wheel bearing and you're an expert
Still not a bad idea - buy a wreck, ask you to move it a mile or so, it falls apart, you repair it and I get to use it

Bit off topic, but what tow bar do you use with the trailer, Doc? Standard one or the multi-height?
I've got an explorer trailer and I use the standard tow bar. It looks like its always leaning forward and putting too much weight on the tow bar. Anyone got a solution? I don't have R 5000 for a multi-height one at the moment
very similar to the one i will do next with a few extra things Home of RLD Hidden winch mounts Spare wheel Locks Trailer Body Fabrication ray@rld-tech.co.uk D3/4 sump plates MY 14 sump plates and the Discovery Sport wheel protectors Discovery 5 wheel locks
more Helsport tents and other things for camping Law of Mechanical Repair:

Hi Daniel
My uprated tow hitch was built by an engineering firm in Durban for R3000. The whole unit, excluding the tow ball, has been load tested to 12 tons. The system is adjustable to a certain extent by swapping the mounting plate around. It is also easily removable when one wants to do some radical offroading which requires a greater departure angle.
