Just fitted my new tank guard (tanks) to guardian.

Easy to fit and built like an ox. not as heavey as I thought it would be.

YOU CAN HAVE THE TANK GUARD WITH A TOW HITCH DROP PLATE ALSO, IF THATS WHAT YOU MEAN (ALTHOUGH HAVENT GOT THEM AT MO)
BUT IF YOU MEAN FIT WITH A FACTORY TOW HITCH?
IM NOT 100%, I THINK THE DROP PLATE BIT WILL GO ON BUT NOT SURE IF THERE WOULD BE ENOUGH CLEARANCE AROUND THE GUARD FOR THE TOW BAR ANGLE STAYS, THAT GO BACH TO THE CHASSIS.
THIS IS WHY THEY HAVE DETACHABLE DROP PLATES!

What tow weight rating will the detachable tow bar be for a normal height Disco?
I sometimes tow a car on a trailer so a very strong tow bar is a must

they are not rated, i was looking at getting them rated as i thought our main oposition had theres rated, but it isnt, so at this moment in time it will not be rated.
it will pull a house down though!
definately tow a car, even with no wheels and another on its roof. :D
