Need ideas for recovery points
Posted: Sun Feb 07, 2010 12:15 am
Hey all, I have a 86 dual cab lux, Im trying to figure out what kind of recovery points will work on the back. I did a search on this topic, I looked at over 60pages but got no answers.
At the moment I have hooks on the front.
I was thinking some big ass eyebolts bolted to the rear chassis rail would do the trick, and I was talking to some1 the other day, and he mentioned that the chassis rails at the rear(being a C shape), would most likely bend, so thats out.
So now Im thinking maybe get some more hooks and just bolt them on, maybe with some steel plate top and bottom of chassis as well, to help spread loading. But again, the chassis rail will most likely bend.
Im not running a towbar and have no plans on running one, I have an alloy tray and Im not going to be changing trays anytime soon.
Does anyone have any ideas/pics of what I could do??
Id appreciate it a heap.
Thanks guys and girls.
