Thread: Fitting bull bars and tow bars

There is nothing to stop you, at the present time, making your own towbar for a light vehicle.
Only towbars capable of towing more than 2500kg are required to have relevant load ratings and certs at the moment.
NZTA have things in motion to make all towbars require load ratings and certifying though.

If I was to build one and it changed so they had to be certified would all current tow bars need to be certified or only new ones?

Like VC said, just do it.
