Some of the stock brush guards include rings supposed to be used for recovery - not very strong but probably quite sufficient for most people.
To install JATE-rings, you must be able to see unobstructed the ring (installed in a chassis loop right in front of the PAS box) from all relevant angles up front - meaning: You can't use those with spoiler. That's cheapest option.
David Bowyer sells jackmates (Hi-lift point+recoverypoint)
Terrainmaster sells smth giving that+steering guard.
There's front receiver - several options.
Or you can make up smth for yourself.
Check Ottos homepage (under Improvements, Mud theme):

Some of the pics and text on the pages mentioned answers your Q, http://www.sf.hiof.no/~frodehaa/vehicle_protection.htm
For more info/pics contact the relevant companies.
Receiver will protrude directly below bumper, fixed between chassis legs. Allows adding a receiver mounted winch - good thing!
Jates are fixed to the thin tubing welded onto each chassis leg. Leaning below you won't miss it out. Would be cheapest option x far for you.
Jates are not just plain D-rings, they are specially made for this purpose - originally intended for airlifting LRs... |
