Thread: D2 with ARB Bullbar recovery points?

I researched this issue at length yesterday on here and elsewhere and have found a lot of information on this issue, and some of it out of date. I'll précis my findings below as it may save someone else a lot of time.


Front Recovery Points:


The best system I have found is the Les Richmond Automotive 20mm plates with hooks for $190 the pair. The link is Recovery Gear

M.R. Automotive sell their 12mm plates for $66 the pair. The link is http://www.mrautomotive.com.au/maxidrive.ph


APT Fabrications sell their 12mm dogleg plates for $120 the pair. See link APT Fabrication for Land Rover parts - APT Recovery Points - Dog Leg | Discovery 1 & 2 | Range Rover


A member on here "Philco" used to make 12mm plates but doesn't anymore? he does still make them for $75 the pair, see link Australian Land Rover Owners > Recommended Suppliers > The Verandah recovery points discovery 1 and 2

A company in the US recommend JATE rings as D2 recovery points for $44 US each. The link is prodjate

Expedition Exchange in the US sell shackle points that mount on a flat surface for $35 US each. See link Expedition Exchange Incorporated :: Recovery Gear :: Shackle Mounting Bracket (SM


None of the above systems are RATED.


Further I don't know if the systems above will fit with my ARB Deluxe Bullbar?


ARB do make recovery points at approx. $300-400 that are rated but they don't make anything for a D2.




Rear Recovery Points:

The best system I could find for the D2 is to utilise my standard towbar and insert a DOBINSONS AUSTRALIAN STANDARD RECOVERY TOW HITCH TOW BAR with 4.75T BOW SHACKLE or similar.


The JATE ring link above also says they can used on the rear of a D2.
