If you want a 'Shed on Wheels' you can't beat the 130. You still have 5 seats but you can load a tonne and a half of shed stuff on the back. .

Just as noisy and 'fun' to drive but you can customise the back to any need you have. I don't think I'll ever change vehicle unless some catastrophy forces me to.

hey guys,

my JATE rings arrived today, but they did not arrive with JATE ring bolts

apparently it should be a piece of cake to get suitable bolts from coventrys, but just wanted to warn anyone who's ordering JATE rings and expecting the bolts to come with them.

your probably supposed to use the exsisting bolt for tie down points?
if not any 6-7'' long M10-12 12.9 grade cap head bolt will do

i was thinking that the tie down bolts would be rated, or even strong...but thankyou very much for the tips. *thums up*

there deffinatly strong enough, there a 8.8 grade metric bolt. i like the cap head as its a higher grade, it cant hurt to have a higher shear strength.

When i went to ARB to enquire about a bull bar, they were certain i can be pulled straight from the bar...
does anyone do this or agree with this?

i had to winch a mate (jeep) up the face of a very soft dune over the past week end, and after having read this thread was a bit concerned about the strength of the ARB bull bar. Had my 10000lbs warn on the last coil on the drum as wellas thru a snatch block hooked back onto a shackle thru those small "recovery" eyes on the bottom of the bar. It worked like a charm- read this as the bar is still connected to the vehicle and the eyes are intact. Snatching might be a different issue though!

Hmm interesting. The ARB dealer was no if's or but's about it. He said you can pull from it no worries..
yes i guess snatching would be anothe game..

I have seen guys put some sort of Jate ring protruding straight from the bar itself. I wonder if they recover off those too

Thanks anyway my friend
