Post by: jimny gary on December 18, 2009, 10:34:32: Err, no. front recovery is terrible, for the rear i fit a SH towbar, not ideal but good enough for me. For the front ive fitted a winch plate to the chassis rails behind the standard bumper, not fitted the recovery eye to it yet but i do plan to weld one on to the underside of the winch plate.

Post by: baz2236 on December 18, 2009, 11:05:26: I have put a Jate ring on the front of my chassis on passenger side and the standard ones got to bent up the rear I use a bridle on the standard ones, but I have a towbar ready to fit when it warms up a little.

The jate ring on the front is a bit tricky to get to but it does its job. My bumper is cut down a bit witch makes it easier.

Post by: baz2236 on February 07, 2010, 22:12:43: They are the most reliable thing on a land rover are'nt they, until the chassis rots away. They don't rust leak oil or break down. :lol: :lol: :D :D
Title: Re: jate rings on a jimny? :-k
Post by: disco2 td5 on February 08, 2010, 19:28:30: the oil leaks to coat the chassis with its own inbult anti rust systerm your suzuki does not have that fitted from the factory :clap:

Post by: Smego on February 23, 2010, 20:50:36: Don't waste your money on heavy Jate rings as the weigh will sap even more of your power.....

Solder a couple of keyrings onto the bumper and put ur rope onto that, should be ok for a jimny?

Thats what all land rover owners do cos they think they are far superior then every one else. If I did that now Steve with my Jimny it would rip your disco in half :dance: :D :D

Beware the of the mighty Suzukis out there they should not be under estimated.
