I will be trimming my bumper on my D1 and i don't think i will be installing a winch soon. I was wondering if i could install two recovery point in the front. Maybe some Jate ring??? I saw two holes on the frame bar ( two each side ) in front of the tie down ring, are those solid enough for points? One day, i will have a real bumper in the front, but for now there is simply too much i want before ( lift,235,slider etc... ). | ||

This is a very common thing to do Pascal.  For years I used those little loops under there that are welded to the frame. They lasted quite a while, but some people/events do not classify them as a heavy duty recovery point and during events you might not be able to go on certain trails (load of BS in my book). Certainly the JATE are better. | ||

Thank you Bri. My list of Xmas gift is getting longer and longer. Santa better get a trailer or something... Anyway, can ou tell me if you installed these where the front loop were, using the same points. I am talking about the front loops that sticks out of the lower portion of the stock bumper by two holes. Could you tell me the part number or size i need to get ( Santa aka: the wife, is confused sometime about those thing ). Slowly but surely my rover is coming together. |
