Tow Bars Perth
Heavy-Duty Towbars & Towing Gear for Your 4x4

Towbars are safety-critical items, so proper installation is paramount. Our process:

• Secure mounting to the chassis with high-tensile bolts, using all provided mounting points (often tying into both chassis rails and the rear crossmember). We use torque wrenches to tighten to spec. If the towbar has side plates or supports, we ensure they line up perfectly – sometimes loosening all bolts to align, then tightening gradually in sequence to avoid stress. This results in a towbar that is as good as factory-mounted.
  
  
• Wiring the Trailer Plug: We wire up a standard 7-pin flat (or 7-pin round, if you prefer) trailer socket for your lights. Modern vehicles often need a trailer wiring harness or module that ties into the CANBUS or uses a relay system to avoid overloading circuits. We use vehicle-specific wiring kits whenever available, which plug into factory connectors (for instance, many new 4x4s have a plug at the rear for trailer wiring). If not, we tap into tail light wires carefully and use an electronic tail light converter to protect the vehicle’s electronics. All connections are soldered or crimped securely and insulated. We test with a trailer plug tester to confirm all lights (blinkers, brake, tail, reverse if applicable) function correctly.
  
  
• Electric Brake Controllers: If you’ll be towing anything over 750kg (with brakes), you need a brake controller. We install popular units like Redarc Tow-Pro Elite which offers smooth proportional braking and neatly mounts a dial on your dash. Wiring the brake controller involves running a heavy-gauge power line from the battery (with circuit breaker), connecting into the brake light signal, and running a blue wire to the trailer plug’s brake output. We integrate this cleanly with factory wiring. The Tow-Pro’s dial we often put in a spare switch knockout or a discreet spot near the steering wheel. We’ll demonstrate how to adjust and use it.
  
  
• Accessory Wiring: We can also wire additional towing-related items: constant 12V feed to the trailer (for charging caravan batteries or powering fridge while driving), reverse camera feeds for caravans, Anderson plugs at the rear for heavy charging or ESC (Electronic Stability Control on some trailers) circuits. Just let us know what your trailer requires and we’ll make sure your vehicle is fully equipped.
  
  
• Tow Ball & Accessories: We attach a quality tow ball (usually 50mm ball for AU standard couplings) and torque it properly. We also supply drop hitches or high-rise hitches if needed to match your trailer’s height – important for level towing. And don’t forget the tow tongue locking pin; we have locking hitch pins available to prevent theft of your tow ball mount.
