Ski pylon for my Avalanche.

[duffymahoney 10]

My boat is tucked away in storage, and I was wondering if this would work in my avalanche. It would be nice to have my ski pylon down when not in use. Here is the link.

I would have some one that can get to there Avalanche measure their tow bar and compare to the measurements in the ad. I think Centurion had 2 or 3 different lengths of them for other models. I think it has to be a older than a 2009 Avalanche, one before they deepened the deck on them.

 

Better to be safe than sorry!

Hey Duff,

 

Thats funny, they had two of them I already bought the other one. I figured for that price if it dosen't workout I can relist it. I should recieve it in the next couple of day's when I do i'll take some measurements and let you know.

Well I have an older avy (2003) but I am hoping it would work.

I will check my Avy when I get home. But if I remember right the ski pilon is welded to the steel frame on the front of the engine compartment. I am not sure where that "custom built support bracket" would fit. I can take a picture of the stock set up if that would help....

They are bolted in not welded in

Yes the tow bar is bolted on the bottom. Mine comes loose and vibrates about every other month and I just hand tighten it. It's not a true hex nut, it's circular with some grooves for grip and I can get a wrench on it but doesn't fit a socket SAE or Metric. Once it's tight it's rock solid pulling the tube.

 

Duffy: I think it should fit. My hand is not banging around when I tighten it so that 4" of clearance needed shouldn't be a problem. One of these days I'll stop by storage and I have to take out the tow bar and give it to a metal shop as I'm having a stripper pole made to go there.

Mine is an allen wrench a little lock tight and you will be good to go

Bigcat,

Did you check your avy?

[duffymahoney 10]
