Front recovery points

(1/5) > >>

90sam:
Hey all,
I don't know if my land rover has any recovery rings/points on the front as standard but would like some! Now i have an a-bar and would like to keep it for the spotlights, but can i just bolt a towbar to my bumper? Or is it too weak. What have other people done? Shall i bother with a winch if im only gonna go off roading when i join a club or with some friends!
Kind Regards
Sam

muck_truck:
you could get a steering guard that has recovery points on them.  

i got one from http://www.rebel4x4.co.uk/steering_guards.htm

or you could get some jate rings, cheaper but maybe not the best option.

I use jate rings on the rear, but if ive ever been stuck just use the tow bar on the rear, saves getting very muddy fishing round for them

richo:
Iv'e  bolted my recovery points [hook type] stright to the front of the chassis where the jacking points are as the hoops that come as standard are a bit like butter and may pull off easy.As for a winch bepends on how much mud you plan on tackling and if you could get stuck,do a winch corse aswell as it will teach you how to use the dame thing

Snooky:
I got one of these, bolted on to the bumper around the mounts for added strength, and managed to get pulled from a nice muddy hole the other week without any problems, all it needs is 4 holes drilled and bolted on, it has a monster spreader plate behind as well, either 4 or 6mm not too sure now, loks better than a tow bar I think

Where did you buy it from or did you have to make it? It looks very nice by the way  8)
