Greetings All -

Here is a quickie question that I am sure someone on the east coast can answer. I am in the North east. Where do i find the best price w/ shipping on a tow bar for a 181 Thing/standard beetle & Super Beetle.

Is there a standard for both or do have to purchase 2?

Thanks

Joe

same bar for bugs, ghias, things etc... go to your local VW Club or shop.. you won't have to pay shipping........ there's a bunch of guys in Baltimore who'd love to sell you one.

Support your local Thing specific shop. Mike Basso has them at www.thingsunlimited.net for $55. He's in NY.

So let me see if i get this straight. I need 2 seperate bars...the std beetle, thing and ghia are the same. I have been told that the where you attach bar is thicker on the Thing... the axels correct?

I know i need a seperate one for the Super Beetle....

thanks again

We've towed with a standard bug bar.... it's higher... not bigger.

I tow my 73 Thing with a Beetle bar. No problems at all.
