    Oops can't read properly. Check the points on your car though. Apparently....from the 03 on (and I don't know if or how they are different), are OK for offroad recovery, but I'd be checking them, or getting them checked anyway

    I'm not aware of a local supplier for a bash plate with integrated recovery points. The following suppliers should do both:

    www.lrexpert.com.au

    http://www.amv.com.au/

    http://www.troutbecksales.com/

    www.aauto.com.au

    www.britishswedishmotors.com.au

    http://www.allfourx4.com.au/


    Without a bullbar you only have 2 options for front recovery points, tow hook bolted to the chassis available from your ARB's, Opposite Lock etc. or Jate Rings available from Troutbeck Sales or other Land Rover specialists.

    I'd recommend a rear towbar if you don't have one already, buy a hitch receiver with shackle to be used for recovery.

    P.S: Look for a company called Outback Ideas (no website) they manufacture recovery points for Jap mobiles etc. They sell their gear through Opposite Lock and ARB but not sure if they do any for a D2 .. worth a look.

    ******,

    Once you got all of these recovery points fitted and gear secured in the back do a 4WD course with recovery techniques demonstrated.

    No point in carrying it if you aren't confident to use it safely.

    What do you want to enhance it for? Is it like touring, grubbiness, harder 4Wding, shopping etc.

    Also check out http://www.4x4discovery.com.au/products.htm in melbourne for recovery points, or Dacis performance landys in sydney.

    Malling. Take away hooks, shopping bag hooks, panel bump trim, 18" wheels, shopping trolly holder and an air horn.
