Hi all .
in order to save some $$$ on fuel on my 4x4 excursions i would like to tow my hilux with a A-frame. I have a standard hilux bullbar which has 2 round holes on the bottom. Can this be used as tow points for the hilux. They look strong enough, have any of you used these points for this purpose.
If you have a A-frame . Could you please post some pics with some rough dimensions.

Re: A-frame to tow Hilux
I towed my LWB landy behind my cruiser with an A-frame.
I used 40x40x3 square tubes, 1.8m long and then some 10mm flat plate half way down to join the 2 tubes, and a 10mm plate at the top to bolt the hitch to. Worked well and it was stable at speed.
Unfortunately I cannot find a pic of it.
