Does anyone have one they aren’t using and fancy selling?
Be nice to keep the new freelander, well, nice.

My foxing step is now the worse for wear, Had a punt on this for £69.00, seems very "Lightweight", but not a problem for me to fettle if needed,

Thanks finnbear I’ve seen a few that fit into a “receiver tube”, my tow bar hasn’t turned up yet but not sure I have a receiver tube! Or can you bolt on a receiver tube to a flange tow bar?
I looked at them was put off by the lightness also the having not being able to use the tow ball.
I bought a 4 bike carrier it needed cutting down and welding [ it was below my stepsons pay grade to do that ] it was to heavy . I broke two springs on my l200.
Now have a heck pack curtsey of Overlay.well worth the travel from North Wales to Kent to collect it.
Yesterday I traveled back from the borders with 4 roe on it in a plasters bath.
Bike rack is for sale still in the Scottish borders Was going to take the ball hitch off and sell that separately
My advice if you can not get a second hand heck pack
Buy new
Two rear leaf springs fitted was the cost of a new heck pack

No. I made up one 2 inch square hole as they are not retailed in Europe inc UK.
The heck pack clamp is available on its own too with a long lever to clamp to the 50mm ball hitch if you wanted to weld up your own basket.
Many Jimneys over here run around with it "the basket" fitted as a permanent add-on to the rear end.
Wasn't expecting too much for £69.00, but pleasantly surprised by the wall thickness.
I'll see how we get on with usage, I have a little steelstock left that would come in handy to take any wibblewobble out.

Always wondered about these things. Are they in spec for the towbar.
I did my D1+E for minibus with towing recently and the limit is 75kg weight on the ball
I mean it's not gonna lift the nose or anything but sticking a couple of fallows on the might make the steering a bit ligh on a small vehicle

150kg on freelander 2. Most cars between 50-75kg. Some 4wd-ish go up to 100kg. This is the main reason I went for FL2Not on my Disco it’s not

Balls! Any chance of wrapping it up?
I’m not calling you a liar….. but
, I have a 2 and it would not take that weight. Mine is rated to 75 and the way it sticks out from underneath, I’m surprised yours will take 150.Get it bought.
If this was a few weeks ago . You could have had the one in kent and me the one in Cheshire

I haven’t picked it up yet but everywhere I have checked it should be 150kg from the manual to the tow car awards. Where do you see your 75kg rating?I’m not calling you a liar….. but

Increase in noseweight
Hi, having swapped my Freelander 1 for a Freelander 2 I notice the noseweight is 150kg as opposed to 100kg. We are due to go away next week for the first time since acquiring the newer model. Having established that 90kg was the best noseweight for stability with my original Freelander, should I...
