Thread: rated recovery points for 2004 Range Rover

+1 for this for the front, I've read reports of people just using the tow eye but rave states its only for 'on road recovery'.

If you have the tow receiver in the rear you can just use something like this:
Kings Hitch Receiver and Bow Shackle | Turn Your Tow bar Into a Recovery Point - 4WD Supacentre

From my MY12 owners manual...

FRONT AND REAR TOWING EYES
The towing eyes at the front and rear
of the vehicle are designed for
on-road recovery only. If they are used
for any other purpose, it may result in
vehicle damage and serious injury.
Remove the front towing eye cover
before driving off-road, to prevent
damage or loss.


OFF-ROAD RECOVERY
If the towing eyes are to be used for
off-road recovery, it is essential that
off-road driver training covering
recovery techniques is undertaken.

My 04 book states pretty much the same. I have the solid block and D shackle for the back but I can't find anything for the front. Hence the question.
Cheers

I used mine's front hook with a gentle snatch, as snatches should be.

You're not always in control of how you are snatched, I'll wait a little longer and see if some one has more info.
Cheers

You should be! My recovery was done after my explicit requirements were expressed which didn't compromise the tug owner's requirements as we both would only participate in a gentle tug.
