4x4 Recovery Towbar for Toyota Landcruiser 78 Series Troopy (08/1991 - on) by TAG

This TAG Extreme Recovery Towbar is built for the 78 Series Troop Carrier, August 1991 onwards, fitting two WLL 4000kg load-rated recovery points into the side-arms so you've got a proper anchor point for a snatch strap or winch line.

Unlike most of the range, this towbar sits partially concealed once fitted rather than fully exposed, while still keeping the flush chassis-mounted profile that protects your departure angle. As a Class 4 towbar it's also rated to 3500kg towing and 350kg ball weight with the hitch supplied.

Built in Australia and backed by TAG's limited lifetime warranty, it comes standard with a zinc tow ball, extreme duty drop hitch, pin and clip, and D-shackles. Fitting takes around 90 minutes, with the bumper removed during the process but no cutting required.

Features

  • Extreme Duty Reinforced Crossbar
  • Two WLL 4000kg Load-Rated Recovery Points integrated into our 3-Piece Design side-arms with bevelled edges to suit soft-shackles

  • Class 4 Towbar - 50mm Square Hitch Receiver
  • TAG Limited Lifetime Warranty

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this towbar exposed once fitted, like the rest of the TAG range?

No, this one sits partially concealed rather than fully exposed, while still keeping a flush, chassis-mounted profile.

What towing capacity does this towbar have?

3500kg towing capacity with a 350kg ball weight, as a Class 4 towbar.

What is the WLL rating of the recovery points?

The two integrated recovery points are load-rated to 4000kg WLL.

Is a towbar the same as a recovery point?

No. A standard tow ball or hitch receiver isn't rated for the dynamic forces of a winch or snatch strap recovery. This towbar has two purpose-built WLL 4000kg recovery points for that job.

Does fitting this towbar require removing the bumper?

Yes, the factory bumper is removed during fitment, though no cutting is required.

How long does fitting take?

Around 90 minutes for a professional fitter.

Can I fit this myself?

Because towbars are safety-critical and fitment varies by vehicle, we recommend professional installation by a qualified fitter.

What's included in the box?

The towbar, a zinc tow ball, extreme duty drop hitch rated at 3500kg/350kg, pin and clip, and D-shackles.

Why Shop at 4x4 Down Under?

We know that you have a lot of options out there, and we’re incredibly grateful that you’re considering spending your hard earned money with us. We like to think we stand out from the crowd in a few ways.

Excellent & Honest Service

We try and provide the best pre and after sales service possible. If you have a question we’re here to help, and if we don’t know the answer we’ll tell you and then do our absolute best to find the answer for you. We’re also here to guide you to the best possible outcome for you. A lot of stores will simply try to up-sell you on the most expensive option. That’s not how we operate. We want to build a relationship with our customers, and the only way to do that is by being honest and direct.

4x4 Down Under is built on honesty and integrity. For example when you make a purchase with us we only charge your account once we confirm the product is ready for dispatch. Although we like to guarantee everything on our store is available we’re not perfect and mistakes do happen. If something turns out to not be available we’ll let you know immediately and you have the option to cancel your order or wait for more stock to arrive. Should you not want to wait the order is voided, and there’s no waiting a week to get your money back (it’s instant!).

Aussie and Proud!

We're Australians, and we like to support our fellow Australians, which is why all our products are sourced locally from the official Australian distributors. Nothing is imported directly and we don't stock any grey imports. This also means that all manufacturer warranties are fully honored by the brands themselves.

No Sales Gimmicks 

When you shop at 4x4 Down Under you don’t have to worry about:
  • Annoying and dishonest ’Sales Timers’ that simply reset every few hours and are there to coerce you into buying.
  • Dishonest “low stock” labels, another coercive sales gimmick.
  • False “John just bought a…” alerts. Our customer alerts (bottom left) are 100% true and we're proud of them.
  • Being bombarded by trust badges and labels everywhere you look that mean nothing. 
  • We don't spam! Your information is safe with us. It will never be shared or sold, or used to fill your inbox with garbage.

Fast Shipping with Insurance!

We've partnered with some of Australia's best couriers and freight agents to ensure your purchase reaches you in super-quick time. Once your order has been dispatched you'll receive tracking information which will allow you to track your order online every step of the way. And if something should happen to your order while in transit you can rest assured that it's insured and you won't lose a dime!
