Front recovery points.

[ZOOK92]

Hey all,
I am so bored at work, I have doubled my post number in three days! I just need some help with the above question. I have a bullbar which now covers the chassis. Where are people putting recovery points? The bar is alloy, so not super strong. at the back, at least you have the holes pre drilled in the chassis for it, but I am stumped with the front options. or do I just go of the diff.

[mistaboz]

umm... Do not go off the diff!

[muppet_man67]

on the underside of the chassis, the bullbar wont cover all of it.

i had also thaught about the recovery points when i noticed there is no rear one ( that i can see anyway) anyone have a sugestion ? or experiance pics would be great. Cheers

Ok, so after a look I can see an area under the chassis, but can you drill into a chassis to affix it. Or is there somewhere on the car I can just put the strap onto. I thought maybe cutting a hole in the bullbar behind the number plate so I can put a strap on the bar between the chassis rails. As for the rear Vicelore, I believe you can take of the tie down point at the rear on the chassis and put a rated hook on instead.

so I can put a strap on the bar between the chassis rails.

That tube is not very strong, not really suitable for use as a recovery point.

This may be easier, but where are others putting their recovery points. I stuck my head under the car again, and i just can't put it anywhere unless I a) drill throug the chassis and b) run two hooks, so I can put a strap between the two and then bring it out the front. Would this work, and can you drill trough the chassis legally.

my solution was to get a good bullbar that Comes with recoery points where you can bolt the recory hooks on

Christover1, thanks for that. As it is a wide track, i have to affix it on the inside of the rails, but at least you gave me an idea.

You guys must have rusty front tubes , I have pulled out cruisers and pootrools with that single loop on the front , normally run a bridal off 2 loops on the back , but that front loop has been used many times ....

You will find most peoples opinion is that the rear or two of them are quite strong and the front is strong as a straw.

Although neither will beat a real hook.
