'rescue' towing

(1/3) > >>

loyalduke:
I have a bog standard 300tdi at the moment.  :roll:

I want to go green laning and do not have a tow bar and ideally do not want to put one on. What and how can I fix a tow ball or something to assist in pulling me out of the mud!!?? Its inevitable I know :wink:

hi john i  have got a front set of bolt on recovery brackets for the main chassis rail there yours for 35 quid have to check postage as they weigh a bit but im sure that would only be a few more beer tokens let me know if you would like them they should fit ok mine is a 200tdi never been on i payed 45 i think from southdown they also have hig-lift jack points for the rear i suggest a good set of jake rings and get rid of them crap standard fitted rings as there not very strong regards colin

Budgie:
How about a pair of Jate Rings,  or two pairs if you do the front as well.

They fit where the tie-down rings are on the chassis, either side of the fuel tank. You can always connect a rope to them before you go off road and that saves crawling around in the mud trying to attach the rope when you do get stuck.  :wink:

You can get the Jate Rings from the likes of Paddock Spares and they cost about £12 + vat.

seconded - pair of jate rings will do the business - if you can afford as well 2 d-shackles 3-tonne type tested as a minimum (it will be cast intot he shackle), a towing bridle two then fix the two ends to the rear two jate rings ready for action :-)

Bush Tucker Man:
I've got a pair of David Bowyers 'Jack-Mates' on the front (same as yours 'colintandy)
Damn strong bits of kit & remarkably unobtrusive when fitted
