Title: Recovery Points
Post by: spyke_boi on November 15, 2006, 09:37:26

Dont shout at me, but just wondering.... where exactly are the recovery points on a freebie? i'm guessing its not the 2 U shaped things on the rear axle and the 1 U shaped bit at the front under the bumper.

I'm not mechanically inclined with cars, so just wanted to ask... feel a wee bitty silly  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

U shaped "thingy" that sticks OUT of the front bumper,
and,
I use my tow bar at the back.

Those are really only road towing points. Not really up to the job of pulling out of axle deep mud.

If you don't mind cutting the front bumper, Celtic 4x4 do a really neat set of front recovery points. There's a pic in this thread

courtesey of G30RGE.

As Llanigraham said, a towbar makes an excellent rear point.
