farm jacking points?
Range Rover Blues:
The 300 Series bumpers did include a jacking point for the standard LR jack as used on the Defender. Take the over-rider off and there is is in the end of the crush can.

eg.
These have the bonus of interoperating good recovery points as well.
Some steering guards also include recovery and jacking points.
With ladder jacks maintenance is worth more than brand in my experience, though I haven't done much with cheaper brands to really compare. A genuine Hilift or Jackall though aren't particularly expensive. Clean the dirt off and spray all the mechanism with lubricant regularly and they work well, unlike one Hi-lift I borrowed which had probably never been lubricated since it left the factory.

Like the look of them :D anyone know if they could be fitted to a D2 :?could do with some good recovery points at the front & the hi-lify jack bit would make life easier for me

I've got a set of these jack-mates (as per the picture above) that were on my 300Tdi Discovery - replaced by a steering guard with them built-in. If anyones interested in them just pm me with an offer. Postage will be high as they're not light :)

to be honest I think if your going to mess around adding them on the front you may aswell just get a HD bumper or i think i have seen a steering gaurd with jacking tubes on. idealy if you think about it if you are stuck in the soup and only have points at the front you will be in the soup also but with side ponts/rock sliders you will be on the bank or at the point before it got to boggy atleast. (in my expiriance anyways) when I first started out with no jacking points I used to put the jack just levle with the top of the wheel then put a chain throgh the wheel and hook it on the jack and get it up that way then chock up the axle and lower it back down if it was a wheel change. I have even used it as a winch with some strops atached to it. the hilift is a very handy peice of kit. look after them they will look after you

where they appeal to me is in their sleeper look, they are not obviously off road and therefor allow thee car to look stock but with the added benefit of being stronger/better if i really need them. if you see what i mean?
