Yep, bit of a problem there as I can't fit JATE rings to mine (the steering guard gets in the way). I don't own or intend to buy a kinetic rope, and it'll be a while before I can afford a winch bumper with built in recovery points. Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? I have heard suggestions that if you fit two of the standard tow eyes (one on each side) they'll cope with non-kinetic recovery?
Disco-Ron:
If you have a steering gaurd, most have recovery eyes on them... if it doesn't, then you should be able to get something welded or bolted onto the side of it that would be ok....

Nothing on this one - it's a Bearmach aluminium one (was worried about the extra weight of the steel ones). I might try asking a friend of mine who has the requisite kit if he can make me a couple of wider JATE rings using the ones I have as a pattern. They only need 5mm longer bolts and crossbars.

I was searchig for a top clamp for my Jackal 8000. Unfortunately I'd just ordered a bog standard one when I came across this one.
It's a typical top clamp with an added chain slot and it doubles up as a jacking base in tough ground where it grips it (see explanation)
