Thread: Recovery Points

On the rear I only use the tow hitch pin, (removeable type) not the tow ball it's self.
on the front I have an ARB bull bar and have found the eyelet on the bottem of the bar to hold up so far, have had a few hard snachem straps recoverys. I was at first a bit reluctant to use theses.
would like to put a pair of jate rings on the chassis, frount and rear.

I havnt had a look under a D2 so am not sure where they are mounted.

But if they have anything like my D1 then they are onoy tie down shipping points.

Mine has a "U" shaped length of steel welded onto the rail's under the frount and rear.

Wouldnt trust these at all for any recovery or towing situation.

I too use the rear tow hitch pin on the D1, however i believe the rings at the back are ok to use as recovery points. Haven't recovered from the front, but i think i would be inclined to use those U things rather than the eyelets under the bullbar. Have always intended to bolt some proper hooks directly onto the chassis at the front.

Not that a Land Rover would ever get bogged....but it doesn't hurt to be prepared...... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

I have an ARB bull bar and the eyelets under it are a rated recovery point.

The shipping tie downs have no rating.

I have a poly bullbar......but think I will try and swap it for an ARB bar soon.... What brand is your roof rack BB??? It looks great....

Thinks hard to try and remember the damm brand, 8O




Nup cant do it and I am not going out into this rain storm to find out just now either.

BUT can say it can from Opposite lock.

I will see if I can find it in my Disco's history reciepts and let you know.

Thanks BB.....if you find an approximate cost would be good as well.......might look for one on Ebay......do you have a long range fuel tank>??

Thanks guys - confirmed my thoughts

BB the points on the D2 look just like yours sound - didn't think I'd want to trust them 8O
