I have a Disco II and am looking for a recovery point for the rear that goes to the hitch. I have seen the D-shackels that plug into the hitch and I have found a tow jaw (like the ones on the Discos in the Camel Trophy) with a hitch adapter . My question is this. The tow jaw is more expensive but is it worth it to get that kind or just stick with a simple D-shackel with a hitch adapter. |

In my opionion, the D-Ring hitch is all that you need for simple recoveries, either with a winch or strap. I am sure others will disagree. Thanks. |

Why would you even consider using a pintle hook for a recovery point? Overkill! And, perhaps less reliable. A bolt through the trailer hitch receiver and a hunk of chain and a shackle or clevis will work as well, too. Paul |
