NAS Rear step/ tow bar

[Dan90]

Good evening everyone
I'm looking into a tow bar for my 90 and have a few questions.

Im intetested in the NAS rear step and reciever/ball option.

Does the NAS step give better clearance than the alternatives?
Is the step too high to be of use to passengers?
I understand there is some compliance issues regarding the step

Are there any other good options out there?
Something that looks good, i can remove the hitch from when not in use and maintains decent clearance?
Thanks!!

They reduce offroad capability (clearance) by sticking back further.

Last I checked they aren't approved as a tow point in AU either..

They do look good though.

Extreme offers one without a tow bar.

I'm in agreement with Tombie. They look nice but not practical due to the points mentioned

Do the standard tow bars offer better clearance?
Agreed they look good

"Look Good"?...Agree.
I noticed this item, before we bought our Defender & actually tried to option it when ordering Gracie.
We were told by ULR,.."We do not service that item".

I already have a tow bar so fitting a NAS bar without built-in tow bar above the existing tow bar shouldn't make any difference to clearance, I think. Plus it would be great for stepping up to reach the roof rack.

Why don't you guys have a word to Ben at APT or Rijidij. If a few of you are keen I'm sure one of them can come up with something you all like.

Hi All,

I have a NAS step. I used the standard UK version, modified by Ben at APT to accept 2" receiver, though I think I have since seen you can get a 2" version.

I don't think it sits lower than a standard tow bar, but as said above is a little further back, lowering the departure angle. As my intended use is more as a tourer than as a go-anywhere machine, this did not bother me.

I like it, as do my dogs for getting in and out of the back. Also feel it protects the back a bit from low speed rear impact in city driving, as this is my daily driver to work
