I do like the HR towbar, but keeping the rear step is beneficial. If you don't mind me asking, what did MLR charge to fit yours?

MLR thru in the tow bar, along with weathershields driver/passenger, genuine front/rear matts as part of the deal.

Don't know if the Landrover genuine towbar is made by HR, but it is rated at 3500Kg, but is a totally different animal to the actual Hayman Reese, also rated at 3500Kg. I know because I have both, and I think the step would only fit with the genuine one.

There you go, clear as mud.

Truer words never spoken... judging from a friend who recently bought a 07 Defender from them.

...I'm sure if I was after monogrammed headrest covers or a leather gun pouch for a RR Vogue they would be all over it...

Love the number plate; the letters, not necessarily the numbers!

Looks Nice.
Hey solmanic how do you find it on fuel compared to the Td5 ? (or anyone else who has experienced them both)

I don't know yet - I'm only halfway through my first tank

Looks nice.

Is there any difference between the Black Widow drawer and the Outback or Dept of the Interior ones? There is a big difference in price.

Also how good are the Outback roof consoles compared to the others?

I compared Black Widow and Outback - the Black Widow have the advantage of being more usable in different vehicles (to a certain degree) - the Outback draws are purely for the actual vehicle they were designed for. So the Outback drawers are a little larger dimension - but in practical terms it probably doesn't matter.

In terms of price - shop around and haggle - I paid $400.00 less than the most expensive quote

It was probably my only price victory in the entire purchase
