anyway, need to fit some recovery points on the front of my disco.

This month's LRO mag had a variety of points, from jate rings to swivel eyes which bolt on to a bumper.


Are there any "bolt on to bumper" eyes out there suitable for a standard disco bumper? or is the bumper too flimsy? ( I Like the look of bumper mounted eyes rather than jate rings).


On the other hand I also came across somewhere selling chassis mountable points which look like the recovery points on some steering guards (but without the guard part) eg bolts on to chassis in same two places as steering guard with an eye protruding from the front.

Anyone used these? and are they any good?

gords:
I would so not recommend putting "add-on" recovery points onto a standard Disco bumper :shock:  I think Scorpion do them for Defenders, but I think those bumpers are more up to it.

Either get a steering guard with recovery points, or Scorpion (and possibly others) sell "RECOVERY POINTS WITH BUILT IN
HI-LIFT JACKING POINT", which look like the side bits of a steering guard :wink:

The problem with Jate rings is they mount a long way back - ask Jake & Kate how easy they are to get to when you're stuck somewhere muddy :lol:

Of course, you could always get yourself a nice new uprated bumper with recovery and jacking points :wink:

Oh yes!!
A nightmare  :evil:
Hence the solid rear bumper which is now ordered.
 :wink:

I'm OK at the rear as I've got a tow bar its the front I need them but can't afford a new steering guard or bumper.

Eeyore:
The swivelly* Scorpion ones aren't attached to the bumper, but to the chassis legs that support the bumper.

Please don't use a standard Defender or Disco bumper for recovery - it will hurt. Lots.......

cheers
