trying to source a tow bar for a jeep

shed_head_2

My Dad bought a jeep grande cherokee on a 51 plate. The Jeep haad a removable tow bar that the dealer said he would be able to pick up from the previous owner. A month later :mad: and the jeep tow ball has not materialised.

My Dad ( silly man that he is ) accepted £100 from the dealer towards the cost of replacing the tow ball.

So we now have to try and source a tow ball. Have not got the first clue where to start. I believe it is a mopar tow ball though. I tried a net search and came up with a lot of american sites.

Any help we would be most grateful.

have you tried ebay?
also consider replacing the whole unit if it works out cheaper than getting the ball from the states.

You have the V5?

Get in touch with the previous owner, I've been very lucky and managed to get the spare keys both times I have done this.

both great ideas, thank you. Ebay has nothing llisted at the moment and we do have the V5. they are about an hours drive away and nothing listed in the telephone book. going to drop them a line in the post.

Thanks again

If it is a factory fitted bar then the dealer should be able to help, if it’s aftermarket (check for makers name plate etc) then they should be able to help. How about going to a towbar fitting place, see if they recognise the make.
