very difficult to fit both at the same time, ive either got the jate ring on, or if i need to tow, then they come off and the tow bar is fitted

though you can use the tow hitch as a recovery point if you use a dixon bate style pin/ball hitch  8)

Lurch

you can get wider ones that fit around brackets like towbars, or steering guards.

see if you can swop yours if theyre too narrow

I had no problem fitting mine. I have a jate ring either side of the chassis and the tow bar fitted. Never been a problem.

Same here. I did remove a tow bar bracket 'spacer' and just used the jate ring in place of it.

... and were they just normal ones you buy, say from Paddocks or similar?

I bought the Discoparts ones and had to bend them outwards to fit the steering guard.

yup the Paddocks own jobbies. They fitted front and back until I bought a steering guard with hi lift and recovery points in then took the jate rings off the front as thought waste of time with a steering guard doing the same job and more.
