SteveG:
rear recovery point and diff guards

Steve :)

Mudmonkey:
What do people suggest for rear recovery points? Jate rings on the chassis legs?
And which diff guards? clamp ones or qt style ones?
(BTW bullfrog ive added you on msn just so you know who it is! :P)

A NATO hitch (with proper spreader plates) is a good method...

Or I like the revolving hitch from Kenson 4x4 (they don't have a web link but they're actually the supplier for quite a few people!!!)

Or SteveG's is quite smart AFAIK it's a Scorpion or Equipe rear tow point.

Or you could just run a set of JATE rings…


Depends if you need to keep your tow bar or not?



Diff Guards... personally I'd got for QT ones....
Although the one from North Off Road is quite nice - is a combination of a clamp on one and slider type.
Or even some of the QT copy's... though some of them aren't made as well as the original!!


Ref: Your CAT.
Have a look at the down pipe from the turbo - if it's just straight pipe from the turbo to the large centre silencer (so a 2 silencer system) then you haven't got a CAT, if there is what looks like another silencer then you've got a CAT.  If you haven't got EGR then you probably haven't got a CAT.

I dont need to keep the tow bar I've just left it on so we have some way of being pulled backwards if we get stuck for now! I think if i get a set of jate rings because they pull on the chassis legs rather than on the end of the crossmember then I can take the tow bar off and put it on when I want/need it and that will improve its departure angle.

My dad said he was going to get the diff guards for the 90 so I think I will go with the QT ones because they seem a bit more robust.

As for the Cat nope it doesnt have one :P

Mudmonkey:
Ive been looking on ebay for some bits and I came across this! What do you guys think of it?
