Have been looking at rear steps, they all look to still have a really low towbar. Are there any that actually raise it while offering protection to the rear?
Yep, Kaymar. IMHO, they are pretty much the standard for rear bars, however they do have a couple of drawbacks:
- Price. Last quote I got for was something in the order of $3500. That was with a spare wheel carrier and jerry holder.
- They will not warrant the bar if you use any hitch other than the one that comes with the bar
- They are NOT warranted if you use a load levelling/weight distribution hitche. Some further info on this is available on the Bushtracker Forum. I also seem to recall finding something about it on the LCOOL or Prado forums; can't recall which.
Mate just had my mcc rear rocker bar installed the other day very impressed and I think what your looking for $1190 from superior engineering. Raises everything will upload some photos later.
Yeah, looked at the arb. It seems to sit the same as the factory, at least it does on the nav. I do like the mcc so if that sits higher I might go that.
