Front recovery points

<< < (2/3) > >>

Bush Tucker Man:
There's also the option of Bumper D-Rings as usually fitted to Series vehicles.

I just sold a pair to another 'Mudder' a few days ago, I used to have them on my 90CSW-V8.

As Tim & Steve say, don't use the standard tie-down points as that's all they really are.

Range Rover Blues:
Might get some myself, I'd have something to tie the dogs to other than the NATO hitch.

Bob696:
Thanks for the help guys. Looks like its an attachment to the front bumper or an ex-mod bumper for me then.

hingmy:
I went for a pair of ex-mil series lifting rings since southdown guards don't allow fitting proper jate rings and lets be honest when the nose is buried who wants (or is able) to get underneath to attach ropes etc?

graham2306:
When you go for the Military Bumper you'll also need the pin to go through the hole.  Certified Dixon Bate ones are about £25.   I bought one from a local agricultural trailer supplier, I asked what is the difference between his £7 pin and a Dixon Bate and he said the name and the certificate.

Mine works great and if you keep the pin inside when not in use you can effect recovery without laying in the mud or getting dirty hands!

Have fun
