Da BogMeisterWorse thing really is that there's around 20 or 30 people standing around and a heap of 4wd's and no one else piped up and said anything... they all stood back, watched & laughed.
Problem with this recovery Wazza is they attached near the top of the bar... not from the recovery holes underneath the bar inline with the cassis rail.
Will let you know tomorrow hopefully as to how your bar is rated for recovery as making some calls today to arb/tjm to try and get some answers.

On the defender I think there is a couple of holes you can use to bolt a hook to the side of the chassis (Using high tensile bolts of course).
I have seen a bull bar with a winch bend towards me while winching, turned out it had snapped a bolt on one side. I'd say this is the case here, didn't have high tensile bolts, and didn't have enough of them, that or the bar was rusty or cracked.

Just went out and crawled around under the car.
The winch bar uses every available hole i could see on the chassis at the front. both on top and on the side of the chassis.
So do you attach the hook to bolts already being use for the winch bar?

Da BogMeisterYep the hooks usually attach alongside the bar... just probably need longer bolts to get through the extra device

Maybe I should play video clips with the sound on.
Sometimes I am just too lazy to reach down and turn the amp on!
