    Doesnt your ARB bar have the recovery points on it.

    Only the first ARB bar had the recovery points, or should I say "tow" points, the update model bar came without.

    No Slunnie it never had them. Bar was fitted new in Jan/Feb 2005, so maybe ARB had taken them away by then?

    Oops. Just read bigkevs post

    I can confirm that 4x4DE is not selling anything right now, he is in between manufacturers. ARB dont sell recovery points. and i cant find anything at all about troutbeck.
    but the guy from APT fabrication was really easy to talk to and answered my questions without a worry, he knows exactly what he is talking about. and 120 a pair is a pretty good deal considering 4x4DE is 150 'on sale'

    Your original comment about winches did not specify beach only. There are a lot of great parts of OZ you need a 4x4 to get to that aren't on the beach...

    There are various names for them - generally something (ground / land / sand / recovery) then "anchor".

    However you can just bury your spare tyre with the same effect.

    its not a question of whether or not a winch is usable its the simple fact that its uncommon for people to use them. self recovery usually involves a shovel but there is always people around to help out.

    I would prefer to spend the money on coil over suspension than on a winch.

    that is a really nice looking YJ, i dont know why we never got them here.
