Thread: Rated recovery points?

Search out Jate rings, also someone does ones that attach to the standard front bumper - I'll post again if I can find a link.

Paddock spares in the UK or mm4x4 will sell you the bits and mm will quote u on shipping before buying where as paddocks won't

paddocks will quote for shipping if you ask them... they got me 3 prices when I had my cylinder head shipped...

alternatively, have a look for mounting points on the chassis rail, then take measurments and sketch your own recovery point, send me your drawing and I will turn it into a .dxf file then take the dxf file to your local laser or plasma cutter and get them to cut it from 8mm mild steel. Paint it, bolt it up, job done.

My thread with similar question:

http://www.aulro.com/afvb/90-110-130...-question.html

I fitted jate rings. I got genuine LR ones, just because. These were the widened ones so they fitted round the ARB bullbar attachment plate which also uses the same attachment location.

I also concluded that "rated" recovery points means nothing. Rated by who? If you fit them yourself then its up to you to decide if they are suitable for the intended purpose... no one else will guarantee it.

Some people argue that attaching recovery points to a bumper or bullbar is/isnt acceptable, but reality is that everybody has different set-ups and (in my case) ARB would not guarantee that my bullbar would be up to it.

I decided to remove all doubt and fit the recovery points directly to the chassis.

Just my own conclusions, hope that helps

I'm going down the terrafirma path for the puma, I don't have a bulbar yet so I found these and they look the the goods the part numbers are TFBRP for the front recovery point and TFWSRP for the rear should be on the terrafirma website ritters in Melbourne stock them not big items I'm sure postage wouldn't be an issue hope this helps

The product that mm & paddocks sell, do they bolt to the chassis? I have 2 large eye bolts attached to bulbar, but i really want a recovery point fitted to the chassis as this is the correct location to fit one.
Thanks for info.
I'll chase these leads out.
Cheers

I looked that part number up. Does it fit to the chassis?

If its a U-shaped thingo, yes it fits to the chassis.

I bought the forged type, not the welded or cast types, after a bit of reading.

Attach using Grade 8.8 bolts
