Thread: Best spot for d shackles;bull bar points or steering guard points?

As a rule of thumb my sugestion is,
When using the winch with a pully/snatch block I come back to the bull bar.
So the winch is only pulling the bar with the Landy attached.

If being snatched I try to pull off the chassis and not the bar(crush cans ect. to think about).
Idealy with a bridle to spread the load down both rails.

I fail to see how anyone can comment on the steering/sump guard without seeing the guard or the mount types.

Another possibility,very common on Land Rovers is Jate rings,which mount direct to the chassis.

Jate Rings....the Poms seem to love these but i never hear much mentioned in oz about them. Are they good, bad or not popular for whatever reason. I think they make sense as a robust recovery point.
