Thread: Genuine Land Rover Towbar coupling too low

Check the L322 section for the long HR tongue that is the popular choice.

Hi Graeme, I did a search and TBM21181 comes up a couple of times, yet HR doesn't list this on there web site, maybe it's discontinued or superseded. The Catalogue only seems to go to P38 and sport in Range rover options.

Mario I did the same thing, bought an OEM tow bar from the dealer in Perth, had the same problem with my boat trailer. Tow ball hopelessly low. Ended up buying an extended solid bar at ARB, and turned it upside down.
It was a right squeeze, but I was (if careful) able to get the trailer socket over the ball without gouging the bumper.
Also had to buy a wireless reversing camera from Jaycar so I could see the damn tow-ball from the driver's seat:-)

You should be able to see the ARB tow bar in this shot. It's got a Trigg hitch fitted at the moment to tow my camper trailer. Just under the number plate is the reversing camera pointing at the tow bar.

Thanks Graeme, I might take a wonder over to ARB head office and see what that have for me.

I intend to fit a reverse camera just above the ball. I just need to work out a switching system to switch from one reverse camera to another.
The head unit I have coming has aux so might see if I can rig up a camera to just for the ball shots.

I hooked up the boat trailer which has LED lights, all lights work, but i did notice a very faint on an off twinkle coming from the left side lights, not enough to fully illuminate the lights but there seems to be very low voltage feeding them.
I must have a wiring problem on the trailer plug wiring?/?
Do the L322s go ok with leds on trailers?

TBM21181 sounds familiar and expected to be what I purchased. Mine provides plenty of clearance between the bumper and my van's coupling although the coupling is currently only an on-road 2.5T version rather than an off-road coupling.

I had noted to the seller that it is not stamped with either the manufacturer's part number nor a load rating so could be a roadworthiness issue.

I called in to ARB and now another $217 poorer on tow bars, they have to order it in from Hayman Reece. They took my money and now I have to wait 5 -10 days for the thing. Just as well the fishing season is not in full swing yet.
Already $250 for the genuine hitch kit I'll probably never use unless I need to tow a really low trailer with flat tyres .LOL

Is this the one you ordered Mario?
