    fwd recovery

    Hi guys,

    Planning a beach run and started thinking about recovery. Since ’94 with my previous discos I have only been bogged once and that was driver error, spent 5 minutes with a shovel and drove out. I have never used a snatch but I did have a decent point under the front.

    This time will be the first using Rangie and have camper in tow; I have no doubt that it will handle it and I won’t need to know, but you know how it goes, if I don't at least have a plan I WILL need it....

    (July 2004 TD6) Is the ring at the bottom of the front bumper (behind the removal panel) suitable for recovery in sand? I’ve not really had a good look at it. How substantial is it?

    Many thanks.

    Hi Harlie,

    According to Land Rover the front recovery point on the rangie is rated to the full train weight of the vehicle.

    That is, it is rated for recovery of the AVM of vehicle and trailer, which is around 6.5 tonne. I suspect this is, as another marque would suggest, "adequate".

    Cheers,
    Iain

    I had a look at mine today and agree, it's very well reinforced and pulls from the centre of the vehicle, couldn't see a problem with it
