Thread: Disco II Recovery Points?

Hi Alex do a search it's been covered before. The tie down rings are just that, Dangerous to try and snatch from them

Just use the rear tow bar as your recovery point - strap into the hole and pinned, not the tow ball. For the front, there are a number of companies that do good front recovery points. Mine were 4x4intelligence ones, however they have since closed up shop. Try troutbeck.

Have a look in the Recovery section, Regards Frank.

Question out of ignorance, has anyone had a failure using the tie down points or able to calculate the expected rating of these? I have a bull bar to pull off but wondering?

I was told that a Prado owner had his front pulled off when using the prado tie downs ie the chassis failed at some other point. Yes a playdough!

Frequently recoveries are made with a big run up and full stretch of the snatch strap asking for potential disaster, when a gentle nudge will get things going and only a small escalation in ergs required if first pull not enough.

I also use the tow bar with a recovery receiver( a slide in alloy one that a shakle goes into).
For the front I got a pair from Philco....http://www.aulro.com/afvb/verandah/1...ery-1-2-a.html

Philco made an announcement early-mid last year that he was going overseas and production was ceasing until he returned. I havent seen any posts or activity to suggest he's back.

I'm pretty keen to get a set for my D2, so I'm curious if anyone had heard from Philco?

I got two front ones from 4 x 4 Design. Not cheap at $95 ea from memory, but look the part. Link is ww.4x4de.com. I had to cut my wombat guard to fit them, but that saved having to consider their matching steering arm guard for the moment.

Check out the posts in the "Verandah" setion in the post by Philco, esp. the last posts, there is also a pic of Tombie's Swivelling recovery points, much safer than any recovery points that has horizontal shackle pin holes, Regards Frank.
