What should I get?

--- Quote from: "Landy_tom" ---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.

Exactly what I do on my 90 at the moment... only takes about 15 mins to remove all my tow bar set up.
I've also got a set of jate rings... the only problem is getting to them when you do get stuck - unless you attach a strap to them first.
It is also a bit of pain trying to do up a D shackle when the back end is under water, or submerged in mud.
In this situation a NATO hitch is best.... one quick operation (i.e close the jaws) and your rope is attached.

The bloke who makes them is on here... could try for a Mud Club discount :wink:
I'm not really a fan of tubular bumpers though :(

Where do you have your electrics plug porny?
And I've found him on mud-club after a message it turns out his username is same as his ebay name lol! :roll:
When I get the jate rings I will be buying another bridle like the one I have on the front that can be on all the time so i dont have to go fishing around in the mud for them! :P
It has now been decided that I'm going to get one of those bumpers aswell as some jate rings.
Safari snorkel and QT diff guards to come afterwards and rock/tree sliders when me and my mate finish them.

When my tow hitch is off it is cable tied up to the chassis - body support... I keep meaning to make a permanent fixing but haven't got round to it yet!!
On previous Land Rovers I've mounted them inside... on the panel that covers the back of the lights. The door seals have enough give that you can usually pass the cable back out to your trailer without a problem. Also has the added advantge it doesn't fill up with mud!!!:)
A bridle across the two JATE rings... exactly what I do at the moment!!
