Pintle Hook

Anyone knows of a place in Abu Dhabi/Musaffah that sells towing equipment? I am looking for a Pintle type hitch that will fit in a 2" x 2" ID hitch rciever. Rating 5 ton plus. don't want to tow anything actually, just a bit of added protection for the rear end. Something like this:

I think you can find these in Salam street as well.

Galadari has a division of Zeibart in Musaffa. They have some quality stuff, but, a bit expensive. Its better to choose a branded one. Otherwise, cheap stuff might damage your chassis. They are worth your penny. Contact them on 02-5554060.

Thanks for the info guys, quite agree on the quality issue, best not to chance it where there is safety involved.

Bradley, I'll keep you posted with my findings.

Cheers Geoff, I guess last time I went there I got the Dodo who didn't know what I was on about.

Galadari/Ziebart were out of all things towing related so will drop in to ARB see if they have anything tonight.

Hmmm, ARB do have the pintle hook but only 4 bolt mount, as found on the LC but did not have the drawbar with adaptor plate to accept the 4 bolt mount plus got the Dumbell salesman and his buddy again who frankly speaking hasn't a f'ing clue about what he is supposed to be doing in the shop or the products within it

. Note to self: Will not be going there in future in order to avoid getting bitter and twisted at pi$$ poor customer service.

That said the issue is still open so if any of you see this elusive pintle hook either one piece drop forged drawbar and hook or the 4 bolt mount and separate hook with drawbar adapter suitable for a 2" x 2" ID Class one hitch receiver, please do let me know.

Thanks in advance, Simon.
