I purchased a towbar from Jeremy for my 68 Westy. I used a friend to tow my bus from Hawthorne to Reno which is 140 miles and it towed so much better than I would have ever expected.

I made first contact with Jeremy on Wednesday night the 17th and the Tow Bar arrived on Friday the 26th. Great packaging and communication. I'll definitely be ordering the hitch when I'm ready with the trailer.

Thanks for the great service.

1969 VW Westy is current project

Just finished installing a ‘72-only tow hitch (purchased from Jeremy) on my ‘72 Westy. Communication through the whole process was thorough and excellent, Jeremy answered all of my questions in advance of the purchase. Tow hitch was shipped all the way across the country and arrived completely intact and still very well packaged. The hitch itself is of great quality, and fit like it was made by the factory! Great detail, even including the location holes for the splash pans, which some buses don’t even have at this point! I was even able to reinstall the mud guard that runs along the bottom of the bumper by just making a minor modification to accommodate where the receiver sticks out.Thanks so much, Jeremy! Now I can tow my buggy with my bus!

i bought the tow bar that fits both bus and super beetle in 2014. Jeremy was great, the build was quick, and shipping was great. i stuck it in the corner, and my bus got sideline for about 6 years shortly after receiving the tow bar. Today, i finally unpacked it, figured out how it worked, and it took about 10 minutes to pin it in place on the bus. i test drove it today, and it worked great. Later this week, i will tow from Baton Rouge to Pensacola. The pink bus at Lulu's during the Meeting of the Minds is ours.

The super beetle will come out of storage soon, and will be fitted with the rest of the kit.

Thanks Jeremy. the bar fit perfectly

So, months after I bought the ebrake pin, I go to put it on and discovered a minor flaw. Jeremy sent out a new one gratis, immediately. Thanks!

I just used my bus tow bar last week. Worked great and saved me $100's in towing fees.

How Much does a tow-bar for a 1976 Tin-Top Westie cost, shipped to New Orleans, LA Area?

Do you have a picture of it? I know the steering dampner location is problematic on the Right Side, and the brake booster is rather large (wide) on the Left side. Standard Ride Height.

Thanks,

I have purchased both a tow hitch for my 69 deluxe bus and a tow bar to tow my 69 deluxe bus when something goes wrong. Both work great. Hitch went in with no issues whatsoever. Using the tow bar I found I need to remove a grease fitting on the driver side beam and also remove the steering damper. Both items take a few minutes and I am off.

I bought one of Jeremy's towbars for my bus a few months ago, and finally had a chance to use it last weekend. The towbar is well built and heavy duty, and it installed easily after I removed my sway bar (my bus is lowered with an adjustable beam). I towed my bus 100 miles with without any issues - it's a very nice item, and I'd buy it again. Thanks Jeremy!

I just got my split bus trailer hitch receiver from Jeremy. Fast excellent communication from the start. He asked all the correct questions to make sure I was getting what I needed ('60 bus, 1-1/4" receiver style, solid cross bar for A-1 exhaust). It arrived in less than 1 week, installed in about an hour. What an excellent design. it mounts up perfectly to an area much stronger than the stock bumper mounting location. My bumper was perfectly straight and way stronger feeling than with the stock brackets. I can tell it will be more than enough for anything an early bus "should" be towing. I will be getting Jeremys front hitch receiver soon to pile more stuff on the other end.
Thanks Jeremy, we need more folks like you in our hobby.

I towed my buddy's bus from San Diego to the central Oregon coast last month with one of Jeremy's towbars. The bus towed great for the 1100 mile trip.

Got my TOW HITCH this week from Good Ol'Jeremyrockjock, and bought a 2-Tip Pea-Shooter Exhaust to go with it. I Had all installed at Precision VDUB in HB. My Buddy Pete and Kevin did Excellent work as usual. The Tow hitch had a perfect Fit with the Pea-Shooter. Flawless. Highly recommend. THANKS JEREMY! five smiles

I purchased tow bar and receiver hitch for my 71 bus. They arrived quickly and look great cant wait to use them.

[mr. warehouse]

I contacted Jeremey about his hitches with some custom touches to work with my bus.
I needed an 1 1/4 receiver for clearance and to accept a 50mm European slide/ball. I also wanted it tucked underneath the bumper for clearance and to be hidden when not in use.
I finally put it to use today.

He knocked it out of the park for me.

Just towed our 76 late bay camper from Scpttsdale Az to Rocky Point Mexico . 225 miles . Tow bar worked perfectly. I was able to go 75 mph easily with no worries . I did put new shocks on the bus for a little extra stability behind our Toyota Tacoma . The Tow Bar is The best quality and was easy for me to install and use myself . Not one issue . Also doing business with Jeremy was great . He sent me a message telling me the progress of the build and shipping . Thank you Jeremy for this you are doing the VW community a very good service . Thanks again ,
