    What do you reckon ?

    Is it worth my while to buy a tow bar recover piont, or just use the tow bar pin as a recovery point :?:

    Interesting question - I saw Outback Ideas' "Bush Hook" which is probably what you are talking about (or similar)

    I was wondering the same thing.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I use the pin, however I've heard stories of the pin being bent during recovery. If this did happen a couple of pins is still cheaper than the hook.

    it might be cheaper, but i'd rather one of the hook jobbies. I think arb has one as well.

    If your snatch or tow strap fits the opening .. just use the pin. In cases where the strap is too thick I'd use a tongue with shackle.

    Cheaper from the site I posted - $65 I think - look at bottom of the page.

    As to using the pin, surely if it bends it wouldn't be possible (or at least easy) to remove the pin from the hitch. :?:

    I get 10% off from TJM =$72 and no postage and I can pick it up tomorrow, the difference isnt worth the wait.

    I am an impatient bugger ( put it together first then read the instructions )
    if you know what i mean.

    But thanks for the link Vlad [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]
