Yep, however i believe the recovery point is central on the new defender and rated at 9 or 10t.Originally Posted by JDNSW
So not sure whats going on with this, maybe the put the number wrong, can see central point off subframe in lower pic.
Top mono chassis looks strong just like a chassis, barwork like the LR AU winch/bullbar or aftermarket can no doubt be hung

Life is just a series of obstacles preventing you from taking a nap.

I suppose there is no surprise there though.

What the RRS rated at?
If it works why change it and why use something different.
I believe the defender is the only one of new gen with permanently exposed recovery hook/bash plate option.

Wow, very cool, cheers, ive gota get it unlocked

Indeed you need to remove a plastic panel on the RRS to get to the recovery eye - but my wife has perfected the removal process. She has perfected a technique in which she parks over a high car park stopper at the supermarket, when she returns to the car after shopping she reverses out again while the suspension is still in access height mode - rips the panel clear off in a fraction of a second.

It is quite possible for the recovery point (or any other part) to look the same as on other models but be much stronger, for example, by using thicker metal or different alloy.
Landrover has form in this sort of thing - the first coil spring Landrovers had most of the new bits in the drive train and suspension that looked the same as the equivalent in the contemporary Rangerover - and while most were interchangeable, the Landrover bits were beefed up. (Later they were "rationalised", which in some cases meant adopting the RR part in the LR, very occasionally the reverse, more often a new part somewhere in between.)
