I've had mine on for 3yrs now. Dragged the 3+ton fat arse Landcruiser bum down palm creek entry, cape York. Paint scratched
. Jacked same fully loaded vehicle via rear bar to rotate tyres mid trip. On that trip the only casualty on the bar was some paint. Happy with that.
The last 2 years we've been touring full time for the most part and despite much abuse and thousands of corrugations, it still works just fine.
Casualties to date are:
Bearings in swing arms were not well protected so needed a clean up and the cap sealed with silicone.
1 wire keeper for the latch safety clip thingo broke. So I recrimped another eye onto it. No biggy.
Light bracket (alloy) cracked around base weld, retigged at a workshop for a sixpack.
Mine has the vertical catches so never broken one and in 3 years haven't put a spanner on it.
Happy? Yep.
p.s. I tossed reverse sensors in the bin. No idea why they're included, I guess they might be able to be incorporated into an existing system if your vehicle has them already.
