Thread: 110 recovery points

Yup thats them, on the back of my 95 110 i have 2 points as well ,1 on each side of the chassis about 10 inches from backend- they are closed hoops and they are bolted to the chassis so i am not sure if they are standard.

It is difficult to see the photographs clearly.

IF the eyes you are referring to are made from a flat sheet of metal bolted to one side (normally outside) of the chassis leg with the bolt going through the chassis these are NOT, repeat not recovery eyes.

These flat plate eyes are lash down points for securing vehicle to trailers etc and are NOT intended for recovery purposes.

Buy proper recovery points such as JATE rings. The original are drop forged for milatary purposes, many welded versions are around and fit over the chassis legs. For the rear ones you need to use the lash down eye as a spacer as the rear chassis leg is slightly narrower.

For recovery purposes only use proper rated equipment. Use of non rated/incorrect equipment is a diaster waiting to happen.

What Brendan said - you do not want to be anywhere near when those eyes let go....

Heaps of aftermarket stuff out there, do it once and do it well.

Plus fenders don't need recovery that often anyway....

I can see 2 o-ring type connection on the front (see pic attached) where you can hook up the shackles..(is this correct?)

not able to find any points on the back though.
I dont have a tow bar - just the standard back end.

thanks

as the others said! do not use these as recovery points!!!! these should be taken off and thrown at a cat!

best advice for the back is to get a tow bar fitted, then you can get a recovery hitch from supercrap. as for the fronts search for jate rings.

cheers phil

those things are tiedown points (also good for tying swags off to.)

your rear recovery point is the reece hitch or the pintle and the front you will have to install....

you can go around the hockey sticks and the axle housing as an interum point

Yeboants (and Bigmark) as you have gathered from previous posts those rings are for tie down if your Landy is being transported on a flatbed, raft, ship, etc. They are not rated (i.e. not strong enough) to withstand the sometimes huge forces involved during a recovery. If you try it you may get away with it... once or twice... more likely the bolt will sheer and the tie down ring will become a missile that can kill an onlooker or someone in the recovery vehicle. There are many safer alternatives, with probably dozens of threads on recovery points on this site already discussing the merits of the different systems available for your vehicle. Do a search and have a read.
