I have a sankey sittin in deepest Bristol (cheers Bubba and Nosebolt) and have a prob: Chief nato hitch currently sits at 14" high, Sankey hitch sits at 29" high, I can get an adjustable adaptor plate that will take the Chief to 20-21" ish high, but im guessin that plod wont appreciate me cruisin down the m/way with a sankey at that angle - correct?

If i am correct, any ideas?

Its a pian in the arse, coulda done with it a dozen times in the last few months.

At the moment im guessin I will have to wait until the CJ is done

i towed it behind my grand wagoneer and several chiefs dont be a poof just get a riser plate and dont open the tailgate with the sankey on you the sankey wont hurt if ita litle nose down it tows leval behind big red but dives on chugga but still works fine......note to self chugga is just to close to the floor

was thinkin nose divin trailer would be a big no-no, but suppose i can blame you when im pickin up fines

note to u: chugga also needs a proper engine

dunno bout the legality never thought to much a bout it whilst always nice to achive you dont see many single axle trailers that are towed perfectly leval and the old sanleys used to be nose down behind most military landys anyhoo the newr widtracs are better behind curant landys

but you would not be over loaded or anything so i dont see any probs lets ask the doom and gloom gods if they know

Nosebolts 4.2 and that would be all, the rest would be in the Chief

My sankey rides nose down on the TJ.

Took a long drive up the m6 that way, no problems.

It rode a bit more level coming home, might have been due to the 360 sat in it

aahhhh a 360
