Towbar electric socket plate offroad clearance
Discussion
Hi all,
Took my XC90 offroading at the weekend in a small way (at a pay-and-play site). All went well except that my towbar electric socket mounting plate got bent, as you'd probably expect.
It's a standard towbar with the socket mounted off to the side of the ball and the bottom of the socket plate is maybe 1cm below the bottom of the ball casting. Do you offroaders have a 'normal' solution for this that moves the socket up and out of the way? I can't find any socket plates online that seem to solve the problem. Some move the socket up slightly but it would still be vulnerable.
