Tow Bar learnings - Sydney
G'day all - thinking of getting a tow bar for my MY01 Subaru Forester to tow glider trailers and looking for tips/advice/intelligence on getting the best deal and brand in the Sydney area.
Any tips greatly appreciated.

Smith, i dont know if it will fit but you can have the one I have on my WRX. The previous owner had it for a bike rack. I dont want a towball on my rex. I have no idea how to find out if it will fit tho.
Postage is the only issue really. I can wrap it and send it. I am taking it off my wrx tomorrow.

Re: Tow Bar learnings - Sydney
cant take it off today mate. My daughter was supposed to go to day care today but she has broken out in some weird rash and I have been at the docs all morning.
Obviously she isnt going to day care now so its daddy day care.
If she crashes at lunch time ill start pulling it off. Either way it will be off this week. If you can wait that long.
Still havent got an answer on whether it will fit.

Checked WRX forums, they found the info for me.
Ill double check today by calling the place that fitted the towbar.

FFS - Macgyver would make it fit! all you need is some chewing gum, a ball of string, and a small knife and you are set!
