Rear recovery points
Jimbo:
Cheers Guy & Simon,
I'll wait for your pics.

Here is the NATO tow hitch on mine.
DaveDavies:
Fuel tank is in the way of me fitting rear Jates to my TD5 90 :(
Not happy that there's much to the rear crossmember on a TD5, particularly as the tank prevents a though fitting and spreader plate...
Range Rover Blues:
Thing is JATE rings fasten tot he tow bar stay mounting points anyway. Unless you are doing snatch recover then these eyes are rated in excess of 6 tonnes, just how heavy is your landy :shock:
JATE rings do tend to be in the mud when you get stuck but the little flat plates are there to hold your LR to the car transporter, use them for heavy recovery at your peril, they bend and the bolts they are on will snap, worse still they are only drilled to 10mm (as is the standard tow bar) but the chassis will take 12mm bolts, as do your JATE rings.
Jimbo:
OK, excuse the ignornance - seeing as they use the same (?) mounting points, can you have JATE rings and a tow bar fitted at the same time ?
