Default Tow bar question

I need to tow the jeep and fix the tranny. I have a tow bar lined up off of a 2011 liberty. the guy doesn't know if it is adjustable or not. I don't know if there is any major differences. I have a Tomken front bumper with tow bar set up. so I think my question is if it is not adjustable will it fit?
the jeep is up in the woods, so can't just run up and get measurements and this guy can't even send a pic so I can see if ti is adjustable

Wow your asking us about something that none of us know or can see anything about. If the fellow with the tow bar can't tell you anything none of us can help. Was the bar for a stock liberty with an add-on mount with what kind of hook-up or fixed. Then you not knowing the spacing on yours ...but you could call the mfg. and ask them for that info.


You need more info on the Tow Bar period, my guess it "Might" fit?

yeah pretty bad --- the guy just said it came with the liberty, so I thought maybe it was an option at purchase. then I tried to find measurments of frame/ unibody..... guess I'm going to find out the hard way or maybe it all works out
thanks for the reply.

Pull the Jeep out of the woods with a strap. Then put it on the car hauler you just rented.

Bring helpers and come-alongs.

Add towing to your insurance wait a day have a friend drag it to a road with a strap then get it towed home or to a shop.
