Front recovery point
« on: May 19, 2009, 23:02:36 »
Where if anywhere can i fit a swivel eye/nato hitch to the front of my 90.

 I'm guessing the standard front bumper isn't strong enough to drill fit there

What have you guys done.

I have mine attached built into a steering guard, I also made a HD bumper from 5mm steel with swivels.  The trouble with standard bumpers is that they can tear.  Another way that I've seen is swivel goes in the std jacking points, quite a tidy solution. Also seen them on the winch trays that you can get without modding the bumper.

You can strengthen the standard bumper with some u channel and then dut a recovery point through that, seen that done well bfore and it looks standard too if you like that look
