Plus I certainly made certain they were rated when I fitted mine. Mine were a complete b@stard to fit though as I had bent the wombat bar within which the point mount.

Just wanting to know would welded recovery points be a better advantage over bolt on recovery points in terms of strength?

If you could let me know your thoughts on both pros and cons of each, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Bruce Davis has a brilliant recovery point for the D2... I suggest going with that over the others...

If one insists on the other style go troutbeck... He's far more deserving of the business.....

Is there an address for this more deserving business??

so whats wrong with just drilling and putting a couple of recovery hooks onto your chassis? cost you about $20ea inc bolts

Go the bolt on. You should never weld added bits and pieces to the chassis.

Send a PM to Dranged on this Forum. He has a couple of options for a D2.

You usually can't get the correct angle in a recovery with just a shackel if you have a bull bar. You need to lower the point of attatchment as low as possible.. but not lower than hub level. Too high and you do a wheele and risk breaking stuff too low and you will be driven down further into the crud increasing the load on the snatch. I have 2 options on my disco for 2 different situations. 2 bull bar mounted swivel shackles bolted in the same line as the chassie, reinforced by a 5mm steel plate bolted to the chassie ( Very tough) I use this in mud to get a small amount of up lift to pop out of the crud. and winching with a pully block. The other recovery points are very similar to the ones in the first thread. Used for general snatches.

Go the Blues.
