    Removing a Kaymar Bar.

    Is it possible to remove the Kaymar bar and go back to stock. Not sure if anything cut during the install.

    It would mean sourcing a new bumper bar as well, I am not sure where but I am sure you can.

    Is it that bad?

    Is it a dual wheel carrier type or just the bar?

    No it is good . I even have the mudflaps and really like it

    The wheel carrier is easy to use.

    The issue and why I am thinking of it is the weight.

    If am getting a new van and the toll ball weight is around 270kg so am a bit concerned over exceeding the back axle weight and gvm.

    I am just looking at options.

    Hey Richard

    You must spend many sleepless hours thinking about stuff.
    Have you tried sleeping pills?

    I fitted my kaymar bar myself. There should be no reason why you can't remove it. If you have a copy of the installation instructions you should be able to work it out. I still have my original rear bar (D3). PM me if you decide to go ahead and are interested.

    Thanks for that

    I have a d4 not sure if any difference.

    But at the moment it is only a possibility if I have to.

    Ya not wrong.
    I do have some sleeping pills at home. I have never taken them. May be it is time.

    Just considering options. Doing this may be better than having an aux tank I can't use😆😂😴

    I use Milenco ball weight scales. No guessing. Allows you to shift weight around inside the van or in the case of a boat move the winch post or axles to get the loading right. For eg. I wasn't happy with the way my boat towed at 120kg nose weight on the tandem. Changed where boat sat and now 175kg nose weight and tows beautifully. Cheers
