Thread: Fitting Recovery Points on my Disco

Mate,

I scurried out cockroach like the other night and snapped a few but they didn't mean much on reflection so I will have another go in the cool light of day.

The reality is that as steering protection it doesn't add much more than the existing bar except that it has a thicker wall. My bar was bent so needed replacing.

It is the GCA kit.

Stay posted.

This is what the RTA says:

That document is 4 years old. Is that the latest?

I am fortunate in that I have an ARB bullbar on the Defender which has the eyelets for fitting a shackle. The genuine LR bullbar apparently does not have these eyelets.

There has been some discussion that these are not rated recovery points, but ARB have assured me they are :?

Interesting because they refused to advise me of this in writing. Besides they bend sideways with even a modicum of lateral force so I wouldn't trust 'em if I were you. Remember lives are on the line.

I have some 'Outback Ideas Recovery Points' (see thread of same bame - can be found in common threads forum) fitted to my bar and they are plenty strong.

It sounds, however that Micka is doing some for a VERY good price and Micka mate perhaps posting some piucs (perhaps in a a seperate thread) would be a great idea. (I'll then add that thread to the one in common threads forum re recovery points for you).

Thanks OI, I am waiting further instruction SIR! Matt [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

Nice pics Glen but I can't understand what kind of sicko gets rid of a Defender to buy a Disco. :roll: [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

I agree. What gives with the Disco???
