i.e. are they all the same strength or would it be best to go say britpart etc....
I was looking at these bay # 330351792560 and thought i would check as im still new to the whole recovery lot.
Cheers

-
not britpart mate, its mainly cheap coz its crap
-
do britpart even do forged jate rings? - I have only ever seen references to 'non-forged'.
-
After the hassle I had with my allegedly heavy duty rear springs (one of them sagged) I wouldn't buy anything else from Britpart.
-
if i was getting new ones id get semicircular ones as the ones ive got are u shaped with straight sides and bent a bit when used at an angle
-
Sorry was just using britpart as an example of a named brand... would the one on ebay be as suited to the job as a named one?

they'll be fine. much better tan the welded ones that are usually advertised on Fleabay.
-
I have both welded (on front) and forged (on back) fitted, not had any issues with either. I do use in pairs with a bridle if that makes any difference. The welded ones seem well made and meaty enough... would hate to see what situation I would have to be in for them to fail.
-
I hate the look of the straight sided ones they just look so wrong for towing
-
I've got the genuine parts JATEs on my 110

On a different note, I've used JGS 4x4 (http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/jgs-4x4/) on numerous occasions - good company with well deserved 100% feedback.
-
Buy the genuine ones. They aren't too expensive and are designed for the job.
-
bush tucker man`s look like the proper job!

Is that a big washer I see under the far side? Why are they so much wider than the chassis rail? I'm currently using a stack of washers to bias it outwards, but will turn up a little spacer tube as soon as I get a chance.

it's the original/standard lashdown eye turned upwards, I presumed they made them wide so you can retain those. Seems to fit the gap too nicely to be 'luck' *shrug* maybe someone has real answer if that is not the case.

I can't get them wide enough to fit at the front because a RRC has the bumper mount through the same bolt and mine also has a steering guard. Fornteh RRC you can get JATE rings that are machined even wider.
I use Discoparts welded ones, they are very strong even though I have bent one, being fabricated I think has advantages because when they bend you know you have overdone it.

That would make sense. :D
