Treg coupling will fit on a regular towbar and be cheaper than a pintle plus adapter.

BTW - there is an alko off road every-which-way hitch for a standard tow ball (heaps better/stronger than a treg).

There may be, however a lot of people already have a Treg and the replacement for the lunette that cookie has is for a Treg.

On my D4 I use one of Arthur Goddard's couplings that connect directly to the lunette, but it's not a cheap option even though I don't have to modify my ex-Army trailers.

Really want to keep it as close to an original setup as possible & with very little time left to get the vehicle end sorted, its the best way to go i think.

narrowed it to either the one on the link below or a 2-piece second hand one in a set position which will still look pretty good. I really dont like the look of the massive adapters with drilled out holes for a million different positions

My treg coupling for a workshop trailer, that has the same chassis.

Has anyone been keeping a database of what has been sold off so far and how much? (e.g. one of the mil. groups?)

Hi Ben,

Yes, REMLR.

One of the difficulties that presents is the GraysOnline auctions can be extended after the supposedly set finish time so it's a bit of a schemozzle to keep track of and it is not really so straightforward as what the final "auction" price (that everyone seem to love to quote in their ignorance) brings as it needs a Buyer's Premium (6%) and GST (10%) added to get the real Sale figure (Not even sure in what order that is calculated - a buyer may be able to explain).

Lots of work for the volunteers there. Only a couple of thousand Land Rovers to go! And the trailers, Unimogs, etc.

Bidding ends on time if there is no bidding activity upto the close time. If there is bidding within 10 minutes of the close time i think it is, the auction keeps going until there is no bidding activity for 10 minutes straight so its like a live auction.

Final winning price whatever it may be you add 6% premium & then whatever that comes to, add 10% gst

The Treg cookey has, you remove the original flange, undo the large nut that holds the lunette in the flange then insert the Treg, do up its large nut and reattach the original flange/Treg to the trailer chassis. Then you throw the undamaged lunette on the shelf for later use or swap it with cookey.
