May help identify the engineer in Canberra/Queanbeyan area

"This mod would require an enqineers cert..im guessing
as such I have kept this persons details for future references if I needed or someone else in future..

john Wilson in the Canberra/quenbeyen area... look up www.vehicleengineering.com.au/
sorry I don't have a phone number but this should be ample info to help you out..


have been told depending on which brand of towbar.. all that needs to be done is remove the 2500kg towbar rating and either weld or pop rivet a 3500kg onto it..
I used to make towbars at work.

you possibly might require a brake upgrade to get the 3500kg rating..
I know up until late 92 the 80 series had smaller brakes..
later models had larger brakes standard and that is all I know..
only speaking to an engineer and going from there,than hearing from idiots on a forum who say the vehicle needs a rebuild or cant be done.."

I have a late 1995 80 series, at the time this came up on the forum I emailed Toyota about this and they sent me back an email saying (from memory) that my vehicle was ok to tow 3.5 tonnes.

I have kept the email in my vehicle since receiving it. It was checked once at weigh bridge in Alice Springs of all places and passed inspection at the time.
