recovery points on an original bumper

(1/4) > >>

  hi,
       Im looking at fitting some recovery points on the front of my 90 and noticed theres several types that bolt straight on to the original bumper and have a spreader plate behind it. Has anyone tried these type with any success? The last thing i want is to find they pull straight through when im stuck in the middle of now where!

I would'nt use one, i've seen standard Defender bumpers tear when these have been used. You would be better off with a jate ring and attach a strap when off roading or laning then you won't have to search for the jate ring when your up to your head lights in mud etc.

I'll 2nd that, Or get an HD Front bumper or steering guard with recovery points built in.

ive got an army center pin bumper(thats what i call it), its reinforced along the middle and has a big tow pin. used it to pull myself out  loads and pulled  a 7-1/5tonner yesteday. i paid £25 for it at eastnor show, ground it down, red oxided it and sprayed it black, really pleased with it

  cheers for that..
         
          i had a sneaky feeling that would be the advice.. ill have a look around at steering guards then.. or military spec bumpers...or hd bumpers..or anything else shiny to bolt on the front! lol
