jate rings on a 90

(1/3) > >>

clips:
To show my utter ignorance, anyone able to tell me how jate rings attatch, or better still got  a picture?
 changing the bumper to a heavy duty tapered job and would like to fit some jates assuming they wont be fouled by the steering guard

datalas:
as far as I know the jate rings attach through the chassis though the holes for the tie down straps.  Which, would mean that your steering guard is quite seriously going to be in the way :(

clips:
thats what i feared, i know theres a spacer between the guard and the chassis. i'll have to rethink plans maybe

BigA:
yes.... steering guard uses the same fixing location as jate rings. If you are replacing your bumper, why not get a new one with towing points. I replaced mine with a raised reinforced one, and it has point to fit towing thingies (i cant remeber what they are called  :? )

hingmy:
What about fitting a pair of miltary lifting rings as fitted to series military landrovers? I know the purists will squeal that they are designed to work with a lifting force not a dragging one , but they worked for the army (not the subtlest of driving schools), i ran a pair for 4 years with no problems, they are above the bumper line so you don't have to excavate the vehicle to get at them when stuck in your choice of ditch or bombhole and ...... i might just have a pair lying around. The downside is that you will need to cut out a tiny bit of the plastic grill.
