Tow bars for a Gen 4 Jimny

Tow bars for a Gen 4 Jimny was created by Stalker
The tow bar on my last Jimny, [the one suffering sudden loss of power which was an ignition problem and took an age to diagnose and replacement parts arrived yesterday!!! I thought I was back in Africa they took so long] the tow bar fouled the exhaust which had to be bent to avoid rattling.
I now also have a new gen 4 Jimny and would like to fit a tow bar so am seeking recommendations for a manufacturer tried and approved by members. Tow Trust seem to have a good reputation but a Jimny member recomendation would be my prefered source to trust.
Any advice much appreciated as always.

I have tow trust on both my 3 and 4. Both are fixed flange type. Both are very good quality and while the electrical connection on the 4 is a little more involved by virtue of needing a canbus loom the actual metal parts are straight forward. If I ever need another tow bar for another vehicle it will be tow trust. Would recommend.
Oh and for context I an a shepherd and do a lot of full capacity towing of live loads in both single and twin axle trailers.

My Gen 4 came to me with a tow bar already fitted. It is a genuine factory/dealer fitted accessory and looks good and works well, although I have only used it once in 18 months.
I don’t suppose anyone on here will get a Suzuki tow bar fitted, I would imagine they are horribly expensive, but now the Jimny has been discontinued, you might find a dealership with stock they want to offload.
I can recommend it, but like Lambert I have had Towsure in the past and they always fitted well and looked good.

Towsure are very different, my maverick had one of theirs and the weld between the transverse part to the flange part cracked after 30 months. Never had a problem with tow trust.
