towing points on a vit
« on: July 01, 2007, 06:58:52 »
hay all.

i was just thinking what most of you guys do to get decent points front and rear,

i have been winched,towed out of real snot holes but is it wise to keep using standard towing points,

id like your views on this and maybe some pics if youve done any thing diffrent,

thanks for your time :D

If you've got a short wheel base then Bits4Vits do a front tow point. But you have to take the front bumper off! On the back I just use the tow bar. Helps protect the rear bumper too :wink:

sorry to but in, but has anyone any ideas for a front recovery on a long wheelbase vit and if possible any photos
Breaking it is more FUN, than fixing it!
