Thread: Recovery points on a Defender?

Hi Henry

There was some discussion on this not so long ago. Have a read through this thread:

I too have used the Troutbeck JATE rings in the past and they seem like a good solution to the problem. The only drawback seems to be the fact that when you are stuck in the sand or mud, you'll need to start digging to find your recovery points. Other than that, they work well.

Most of the people I go out with have a hook mounted in the reciever of the towbar for the rear, works a treat.

For the front, I have seen a couple of configurations, but as to which is best is open to opinion. I've seen jate rings, loops, hooks and everything between.

check my setup under gallery and andy and the defender.
two hooks on chasis rails

Had these fitted to the Fender, nice and cheap and strong
but bury themselves in the mud, also the spring retainers
rust and are pretty much useless after awhile.
