    I had an engineer look at mine and said it would be possible to do light snatch recoveries; but only if all bolts attaching the bullbar are high tensile and an equaliser strap is used.

    ...wouldn't put that in writing though.

    those eyes are only mild steel sheet, I stuck a shackle into one and got towed less than ten km when I turned off the Tanami towards Halls Creek on the bitumen when the fuel ran out. The eyes were a little deformed after a gentle tow on the bitumen so I would not expect much under a snatch recovery situation.

    So using them for winching is also not a good idea?

    Lets put it this way, if someone expecting a snatch or winching from me had connected up to those I would refuse.

    looks by the answers ( lack of many) there are no good recovery points for a Disco that are safe on the front.

    I'm not sure if it was due to some 'unfortunate incidents' or not but I notice that they do not appear on later ARB bars.
