Rear recovery
« on: October 30, 2006, 14:48:34 »
Despite the title, this thread has NOTHING to do with recovery from some bad Indian food.

Until I can figure out who will send a couple of bumpers to Japan, I'm going to try to make do with some Jate ring fittings.  The front chassis holes were easy enough to find, but I don't see where I'd fit any on the rear.  Anybody know?  

Also, I once saw some rear directional (mine are in the bumper) protection (I forget on whose website).  After crawling around underneath today on my lunch break, I couldn't see where I'd drill for the mounting screws.  Seems a mighty tight fit.

Does BritPart carry any good aftermarket winch bumpers?  My local dealer has an account with them.

They are where the rear tow bar fits, assuming you have one.
I would see about getting them from OZ as it must be cheaper to send from there. Arb are based there along with quite a few good manufacturers.

Not a great picture but it gives you an idea of where to look.  :D

Which bumper is that Budgie?
Disco parts?
If so, where did you get that recovery loop from?

Yep, one Discoparts bumper and D-ring is from Scorpion Racing, although I had to redrill the holes to make it fit the bumper securing bracket.  :wink:

OK, I get it.  The same hole that the tie-down bracket is in.  Just out of curiosity, Budgie, why did you reinstall the tie-down loop?  I'm told that they aren't strong enough for a recovery pull (therefore my wanting to install Jate rings), but then once the Jate rings are on, they seem redundant.  Or am I (as usual) missing something?

I left them in place because I live on an island and have to get the ferry to mainland UK so the tie-down brackets are there to give the ferry crew something to use if the weather is rough and they need to tie the vehicles to the deck.
The Jate rings are set to be pulled to the rear but the brackets I've set to pull downwards.  Plus they use up a bit of the gap between the jate ring and the chassis so it saved finding a spacer. :wink:

Well I towed a 7 tonne waterboard trucj out of the mud using one of those tie-downs.  It's the bolt you have to worry about anyway. IIRC JATE rings are for tying Land Rovers down to crates for parachuting them and stuff, so not that different.

Yeah, I read about not using the tie-down ring for recovery AFTER I used it to pull a tree out of the ground.  Seemed up to the job.

My Range Rover was often towed home using the tie down ring
