Here is a picture of my tow bar after it's been hooked up. It is the best that I have seen so far. It is only 60 lbs. It fits the Humvee and CUCV shackles. It also allows for a one man installation because of the ability to realease the extension legs from their stowed position and if the towing vehicle is close enough, the lunette can be brought forward and easily placed onto the Pintal Hitch even if it is off to one side or the other. It also has an auto lock feature once the extension legs are fully extended. It's rated for use on the latest Up Armored Hunvee.

That Tow Bar is made by IBISTEK and is sold to the general public. It is $1,530.00 plus shipping. This is the latest type with the extension legs that auto lock once they are fully extended.
