For some reason its not letting me load pics.
Ok so description, its solid square steel where it fits into towbar. It has a braced plate welded to it about 12mm thick. It has 8 holes in it to attatch the pintle hook. The shaft is about 40 cm long and has a hole for the pin. Their special price is $55 + gst. This one ismade by a different manufacturer. It weighs about 6kg. They also do their own receiver for $77 + gst. They have the pintle hooks here also, 10 tonne for about $140, or the combination ball and pintle rated at 3.5 tonne (ball rating) for about $161. Prices are all plus gst.
Hope this helps

Cheers Rod

I think what you are describing here is a commonly available adapter to convert a hayman reese type receiver to a pintle hook. Not what I'm looking for. Looking for someone who has an adr approved set up to allow lowering of the tow height on a perentie and ideally allowing a hayman reese type receiver to be fitted.

Ok just remember the Max towing weight of a 4x4 perentie is 900kg. And there is no ADR approved tow hitch adapter to Hayman reese type that I am aware of.

That 900kg max is for the stock crossmember/pintle combination isn't it? Not for any other type of hitch receiver that you get fabbed up.

I am assuming so .. the 900kg is unbraked .. the X member is way way stronger thsn the standard Defender X member ?

Ok i'll bite again. Where does the manufacturer say that?

When I spoke with Land Rover Australia (or what ever thaey are called at the moment) they refered me to here! Very helpful.

Please don't start this argument again
