  1. Be careful of hardware store bolts - they generally are of the lowest strength grade and snap easily. Our clamp has 12mm threads equivalent to grade 8.8 strength and can be tightened to 90 Nm. This is really heavy duty and permanent. A different league to most of the other solutions above. Installation guide Rev01.pdf
  2. A bit of feedback on this thread . . . . My son, Sean, has now sold a number of these anti-rattle clamps mostly for HiLux owners who have seen this thread. It has not yet been "advertised" anywhere else. Has also been fitted to FJ Cruiser and Pajero. Sean now has a decent stock and will start a proper promotion campaign. Selling at R295 ex-Cape Town. info@itrekz.com
  3. Thank you Philip I had two opposing comments today; you suggest to make it more lockable, another guy wants to have it more removable because he says that is why he bought a removable tow hitch. Will play with two concepts and see if we can satisfy both.
  4. Hi I am new here. Busy developing a local product to tighten up most loose towbars - those where the square tube is loose in the receiver. The problem is very much discussed in American forums, but I can't find that the locals experience it. Here are some examples: https://youtu.be/J_fHQmeOEGs?t=34 We (iTrekz) are testing a clamp with a similar function to those in the videos, but modified to cater for local towbars. The Toyota HiLux often has towbar by Bosal with a knurled screw which needs to be avoided. Further, they use a 54x54mm tube, bigger than the American/British 2inch tube. And the receiving square socket it welded up from laser cut plates that protrude down . . . . . therefore our anti-rattle clamp looks like the attached, different and stronger to those found on Amazon. Our development was for guys towing lightly loaded trailers (heavy loads don't rattle so much), then my son pointed out that bike racks are also an issue - and pointed me to this forum! Yours comments would be appreciated, thank you
