Rear recovery
Colin 009:
Its still there probably because its rusted on. :lol:
Budgie:
--- Quote from: "SnakeLogic" ---OK, I get it. The same hole that the tie-down bracket is in. Just out of curiosity, Budgie, why did you reinstall the tie-down loop? I'm told that they aren't strong enough for a recovery pull (therefore my wanting to install Jate rings), but then once the Jate rings are on, they seem redundant. Or am I (as usual) missing something?
--- End quote ---
I left them in place because I live on an island and have to get the ferry to mainland UK so the tie-down brackets are there to give the ferry crew something to use if the weather is rough and they need to tie the vehicles to the deck.
The Jate rings are set to be pulled to the rear but the brackets I've set to pull downwards. Plus they use up a bit of the gap between the jate ring and the chassis so it saved finding a spacer. :wink:
SnakeLogic:
Mystery solved. Thanks Budgie.
Budgie:
See, there is logic to my madness sometimes!! :mrgreen:
Range Rover Blues:
Well I towed a 7 tonne waterboard trucj out of the mud using one of those tie-downs. It's the bolt you have to worry about anyway. IIRC JATE rings are for tying Land Rovers down to crates for parachuting them and stuff, so not that different.
